Case study of a patient who experienced an allergic reaction after using a substance for dental impressions

For any practicing dentist, an allergic response to an exceedingly common dental treatment, such as impression creation, is a nightmare. This is a very uncommon account of a patient who had an allergic attack during a standard impression-taking process used in the denture-making process. The patient had symptoms, which disappeared once antihistamines were given. A similar response was generated from the patient during his prior impression-taking session, which was overlooked when asking his medical history. Following remission, the patient was monitored and the standard course of therapy was followed. Additionally, he was questioned about the adverse reaction at his next dentist appointment.
