Abstract
A patient presented with recurrent facial dermatitis associated with dental work. Dermatology referral identified the cause as allergic contact dermatitis to the epoxy acrylate BIS-GMA. Occupationally-induced allergic contact dermatitis to epoxy resin was also demonstrated. A structurally distinct aliphatic acrylate was successfully substituted. Contact sensitivity to BIS-GMA is reviewed and the potential for epoxy sensitive patients to cross-react to BIS-GMA is discussed.Entities:
