title: Oral exposure to a nickel-containing dental alloy of persons with hypersensitive skin reactions to nickel.
abstract: In 10 partially dentate subjects, all with long histories of skin reactions to nickel, prosthetic treatments were performed with fixed prosthetic appliances manufactured in a dental alloy containing 66% nickel. During time periods varying from 12 to over 40 months, these subjects were controlled using a variety of dental and medical methods. Neither adverse general nor oral clinical nor histological reactions were noted during the observation.
