Treatment for dental metal allergy patient ~Examinations, Diagnosis, Treatment Plan and Cooperation~

Abstract

The health insurance system in our country has covered non-metallic material prostheses. Therefore, a dentist can perform allergenic metal replacement with a small financial burden to a dental metal allergy patient suffering from skin or mucosa disease. Although numerous reports have shown that allergenic metal replacement can relieve skin or mucosa symptoms, there are some cases wherein allergenic metal replacement does not alleviate the symptoms. In such cases, it is possible that the examination, diagnosis, and/or treatment are flawed. This article suggests and demonstrates the efficacy of an exemplary and ideal examination, diagnosis, treatment plan, and consultation for dental metal allergy patients. This article complements a previous article “With The Aim of Treatment Guideline Development For Dental Metal Allergy and Related Diseases (2016)”.
