FAQ: Allergic Reactions - Part B

Allergy to metal in crowns: I had a full mouth restoration 13 months ago. The crowns were porcelain fused to metal except 6 upper front anteriors which were all porcelain. Within a week my bottom gums appeared whitish. About 6 months ago, I had an oral biopsy that resulted in a diagnosis consistent with lichen planus. My dentist identified the metals as gold and palladium. I was patch tested last month. It was determined that I am allergic to both gold and palladium. I had told the dentist before he put the crowns in that I am allegic to jewelry. He said I could never be allergic to gold or palladim. I use a mouthwash of equal amounts of lidocaine/benedryl/dimethasone/ antacid. My dentist is not supportive. What should I do? ... Visitor from MA (answer)
Allergy to crown cements: Highly allergic reaction after removing two old silver filling replacing with crowns and glue. Allergy tests sent in from Canada found allergic to all arcylates, the cement was hema 2 meth- Methal arcylates. Do they have glue or cement material free of all arcylates? I have two crowns that were cemented in 4 years ago and had the reaction. Had to take steriods for a long time. I seem ok now. Do they need to remove them and use another glue? And finally why do they use acryaltes when so many people are allergic to them? Please help me. The dentists that I have tried say they can't find the answer and won't help ...

Inflammation - Itchy tissue next to implant: I had a front implant and crown put in two years ago. Since then I have an inflammation - scratchy feeling around and near the gumline of the back of the tooth. The roof of my mouth feels raw and scratchy too. I have been back to the dentist and implant doctor, and can't figure out what is the problem. There are no pockets and the gumline around the tooth has been irrigated many times. The implant is Titantium and the crown is supposely a Procera. Can't figure this out. ... Visitor from NY (answer)

Allergic to Crown Cement: I've had 2 reactions to cements that had clove oil in them. I had burning in my mouth and throat and a burning, pins and needles sensation on my face and neck.

What do I do now? ...Visitor from SC (answer)
I had a bridge on #19 and #20. #20 became infected and was extracted. A temporary bridge was put on #19 to #22. I also had 2 implants put in the same day, at #18 and #17. I have had pain, itching burning and tingling of lip, chin and around the gums where the extraction and bridge(temp) was placed. Pain is not as bad but tingling and itching of my lip continues. I have been treated with antibiotics and steriods but the problem is still occurring. Procedures were done about a month ago. I have had pain - blisters under a temp crown in the past. My dentist thinks it's a little nerve damage. I think it may be an allergic reaction to something in the bridge. 2 implants on lower left and lower right feel fine. Ideas? ...Visitor from TX (answer)
