Contact Allergy in Oral Disease ARTICLE IN PRESS REPORT Contact allergy in oral disease RochelleR.Torgerson,MD,PhD,MarkD.P.Davis,MD,AlisonJ.Bruce,MBChB, Sara A. Farmer, MS, and Roy S. Rogers, III, MD Rochester, Minnesota Background: The role of contact allergy in oral cavity disease processes is unknown. Objective: We sought to determine the prevalence of contact allergy to flavorings, preservatives, dental acrylates, medications, and metals in patients with oral disease. Methods: Patients were tested with an 85-item oral antigen screening series. Data were analyzed retrospectively. Results: We evaluated 331 patients with burning mouth syndrome, lichenoid tissue reaction, cheilitis, stomatitis, gingivitis, orofacial granulomatosis, perioral dermatitis, and recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Positive patch test results were identified in 148 of the 331 patients; 90 patients had two or more positive reactions. Allergens with the highest positive reaction rates were potassium dicyanoaurate, nickel sulfate, and gold sodium thiosulfate. Of the 341 positive patch test reactions, 221 were clinically relevant. Limitations: No follow-up data were available in this retrospective analysis. Conclusion: The positive and relevant allergic reactions to metals, fragrances, and preservatives indicated that contact allergy may affect oral disease.

  • Clinical Practice Statements-Oral Contact Allergy
    Clinical Practice Statements-Oral Contact Allergy Subject: Oral Contact Allergy The American Academy of Oral Medicine (AAOM) affirms that oral contact allergy (OCA) is an oral mucosal response that may be associated with materials and substances found in oral hygiene products, common food items, and topically applied agents. The AAOM also affirms that patients with suspected OCA should be referred to the appropriate dental and/or medical health care provider(s) for comprehensive evaluation and management of the condition. Replacement and/or substitution of dental materials should be considered only if (1) a reasonable temporal association has been established between the suspected triggering material and development of clinical signs and/or symptoms, (2) clinical examination supports an association between the suspected triggering material and objective clinical findings, and (3) diagnostic testing (e.g., dermatologic patch testing, skin-prick testing) confirms a hypersensitivity reaction to the suspected offending material. Originators: Dr. Eric T. Stoopler, DMD, FDS RCSEd, FDS RCSEng, Dr. Scott S. De Rossi, DMD. This Clinical Practice Statement was developed as an educational tool based on expert consensus of the American Academy of Oral Medicine (AAOM) leadership. Readers are encouraged to consider the recommendations in the context of their specific clinical situation, and consult, when appropriate, other sources of clinical, scientific, or regulatory information prior to making a treatment decision.

Although the vast majority of publications focus on leukoplakia and other potentially malignant lesions, most oral lesions that appear white are benign. This review will focus exclusively on reactive white oral lesions. Included in the discussion are frictional keratoses, irritant contact stomatitis, and smokeless tobacco keratoses. Leukoedema and hereditary genodermatoses that may enter in the clinical differential diagnoses of frictional keratoses including white sponge nevus and hereditary benign intraepithelial dyskeratosis will be reviewed. Many products can result in contact stomatitis. Dentrifice-related stomatitis, contact reactions to amalgam and cinnamon can cause keratotic lesions. Each of these lesions have microscopic findings that can assist in patient management. Keywords Leukoplakia · Frictional keratosis · Smokeless tobacco keratosis · Stomatitis · Leukoedema · Cinnamon Introduction white lesions including infective and non-infective causes will be discussed

  • 1: Oral Mucosa Diseases in Dogs: How Helpful Are The
    Oral mucosal diseases in dogs: How helpful are the fundamentals of dermatopathology? Cynthia M. Bell, MS, DVM, Diplomate ACVP Associate Professor, Kansas State University Manhattan, KS, USA [email protected] The objective of this presentation is to provide a broad overview of stomatitis in dogs, including immune-mediated mucosal and mucocutaneous diseases. There is little emphasis on gingivitis since this condition is so often related to primary dental and periodontal disease. Particular attention is given to regionally extensive or generalized oral mucosal inflammation, with emphasis on distinguishing features that will help the pathologist formulate and rank a differential diagnosis. Oral mucosal diseases in dogs • Plaque-associated stomatitis/CUPS • Immune-mediated/autoimmune diseases o Skin diseases with oral involvement § Pemphigus vulgaris § Mucous membrane pemphigoid § Paraneoplastic pemphigoid § Erythema multiforme § Lupus erythematosus, mostly DLE o Chronic stomatitis • Mucosal drug eruption • Other infectious (Candidiasis, acute viral infection) • Other non-infectious causes (thermal or chemical burn, uremia) • Neoplasia (e.g. epitheliotropic T cell lymphoma) Plaque-associated stomatitis (aka. contact stomatitis, CUPS) The most singular form of stomatitis in dogs has, for the past ~20 years, been referred to as CUPS (canine ulcerative paradental stomatitis). As a disease entity, CUPS was conceived within the clinical setting; therefore, many pathologists may not be aware of or have only a casual familiarity with the syndrome. It is common for dogs to develop oral mucosal ulcerations (“kissing lesions”) at sites of contact—usually where the buccal mucosa and lateral lingual mucosa contacts the larger tooth surfaces (i.e. canine teeth and carnassial teeth). 1 This condition is thought to be an exaggerated immune-mediated inflammatory response to plaque on the tooth surface (“plaque intolerance”), therefore, “plaque associated stomatitis” is a term that is favored by many veterinarians, myself included.

It is the most common type of oral SCC, which accounts for over 75% of all malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity. Clinically, it is more common in men over 55 years of age, heavy smokers and heavy drinkers, more in males especially black males. However, it has been described in young white males, under the age of fifty non-smokers and non-drinkers. The latter group constitutes less than 5% of the patients and their SCCs tend to be in the posterior mouth (oropharynx and tosillar area) associated with HPV infection especially HPV type 16. The most common sites for the tobacco-associated are the lateral and ventral tongue, followed by the floor of mouth and soft palate area.
