title: Nickel, chromium, cobalt dental alloys and allergic reactions: an overview.
abstract: Possible correlations between allergic reactions and the significance of a dental prosthesis or restoration made from one or more of the metals nickel, cobalt and chromium are considered. Described clinical cases are reviewed. These allergic reactions may appear either locally as stomatitis or distantly in the form of general or local contact dermatitis.
