The aim of this paper is to review the current literature on allergy in orthodontics and to identify the predisposing factors and the implications of the allergic reaction in the management of patients during orthodontic treatment. A computerized literature search was conducted in PubMed for articles published on allergy in relation to orthodontics. The MeSH term used was allergy and orthodontics. Allergic response to alloys in orthodontics, particularly nickel, has been extensively studied and several case reports of nickel-induced contact dermatitis have been documented. Current evidence suggests that the most common allergic reaction reported in orthodontics is related to nickel in orthodontic appliances and allergic response is more common in women due to a previous sensitizing exposure from nickel in jewellery. Studies have implicated allergy in the etiology of hypo-dontia. It has also been considered as a high-risk factor for development of extensive root resorption during the course of orthodontic treatment. This review discusses the relationship and implications of allergy in orthodontics.
本文旨在回顾目前有关正畸治疗中过敏反应的文献，并确定易患因素以及过敏反应在正畸治疗患者管理中的影响。在PubMed上进行了计算机化文献检索，以查找与正畸治疗中过敏反应相关的已发表文章。使用的医学主题词是“过敏反应”和“正畸学”。正畸治疗中对合金，特别是镍的过敏反应已得到广泛研究，并且已有多篇关于镍引起的接触性皮炎的病例报告。目前的证据表明，正畸治疗中报告的最常见过敏反应与正畸矫治器中的镍有关，由于先前接触过珠宝中的镍而致敏，女性中的过敏反应更为常见。研究表明过敏反应与牙发育不全的病因有关。它也被认为是正畸治疗过程中发生广泛牙根吸收的高危因素。本综述讨论了正畸治疗中过敏反应的关系及影响。
