Teodora Gregurek-Novak ; School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

A four year study was carried out on 52 patients with allergical changes of oral mucosa. The most frequent simptoms were oedema of mucosae, stomatitis and glossitis. In 35 patients, by use of allergical tests, we have found the cause of the disease, mostly in the group of nutritive, contact or inhalatory allergens. At 17 patients allergical tests were negative, but we have found the cause of changes at 8 patients. It was intestinal parasitosis or focalosis. At 9 patients all results of tests and clinical findings were normal, but they all had a good reaction on antiallergical therapy with antihistamines. Colaboration between allergologist and stomatologist could improve our results on that field.
