Allergic reactions during or after dental examination are uncommon. However, such reactions may be serious and distressing. Allergy to local anaesthetics and dental materials may be considered, but reactions to rubber in gloves worn by the dentist should be remembered. Two patients are reported who experienced symptoms following contact with rubber gloves worn by their dentists, with skin tests subsequently showing an allergic reaction to glove constituents, and in one case latex. With the increasing use of rubber gloves by dental and medical personnel, reactions in sensitised patients are likely to become more common. In patients with a history of symptoms related to dental work, it is important to remember delayed and immediate reactions to rubber.
牙科检查期间或之后发生过敏反应并不常见。然而，此类反应可能很严重且令人苦恼。可能会考虑对局部麻醉剂和牙科材料过敏，但应记住患者对牙医所戴手套中的橡胶产生的反应。本文报告了两名患者，他们在接触牙医所戴橡胶手套后出现症状，皮肤试验随后显示对手套成分过敏，其中一例对乳胶过敏。随着牙科和医务人员越来越多地使用橡胶手套，致敏患者的反应可能会变得更加常见。对于有与牙科治疗相关症状病史的患者，记住对橡胶的迟发性和即时性反应很重要。
