Two Cases of Mercury Dermatitis Following Amalgam Dental Restorations
Abstract
- Sensitivity to mercury appears to be not uncommon and perhaps the commonest contact with mercury in the general population is by amalgam dental restorations. Recently, we have experienced 2 cases of mercury dermatitis following amalgam dental restorations which were confirmed by the patch test. We report our cases with the patch test results and review the literatue on previous reports.
