Dental personnel are exposed to many sensitizing compounds at work and often develop multiple delayed allergies. Here we report on a dentist who got sensitized to several products that have not, or only seldom, caused sensitization earlier. These products were: coconut diethanolamide from her handwashing liquids, N/ethyl/4/toluene sulfonamide, a resin carrier in dental materials for isolating cavities underneath restorations, and 4/tolyldiethanolamine, an accelerator for inducing polymerization of dental acrylic resins at room temperature. The patient also had allergic patch test reactions to formaldehyde, phenol/formaldehyde resin, fragrance mix, and lauryl monoethanolamide, possibly from occupational exposure.Downloads
