title: [Allergic reactions to dental materials (author's transl)].
abstract: Contact and distant reactions of an allergic nature to dental materials are rarer than is generally assumed. This is explained by the anatomical and physiological peculiarities of the oral mucous membrane and the chemical and physical properties of the materials. Clinical phenotypic allergic reactions due to prosthetic and filling materials are discussed and special problems of diagnosis and differential diagnosis are emphasized.
