Allergic manifestations in oral cavity

Abstract

Introduction: An allergy is the failed defensive effort of the organism against foreign antigens. Reintroduction of the same foreign substance into the organism causes a reaction that leads to the destruction of one's own tissue. Allergic reactions can express themselves in many different organs and in any age group. Material and methods: In this paper, 84 patients were involved. The diagnosis was based on a positive history of pre-administration of a medicine, an insect bite, earlier allergic reactions, as well as a typical clinical picture. Variants of allergic changes, as well as the most common causes for their occurrence, were monitored. Looking for the most common allergens, dental practice drugs were also considered as potential drivers of allergic events. Results: The most common form of allergic reaction was Stomatitis allergica and Enanthema fixum, with localization on the dorsal surface of the tongue and the mucous membrane of the cheeks. Almost half of the registered patients reported a change after taking the appropriate group of drugs: sulfonamides and penicillins. Conclusion: If the cause of allergies is known, preventive control of an allergic reaction are in the first place. The high prevalence of allergic diseases and improved diagnostic procedures and treatments have had a great impact on the provision of medical care to allergic patients. Sometimes, it may not be possible to completely avoid allergic reaction, but these steps can help to prevent future allergic reactions. Physicians should adopt clear designations of the allergic disorders and adhere to this nomenclature in their professional and public communications.
