Abstract
Monomer methyl — metacrylate is along with the accelerators the most frequent cause of the allergic stomatitis in patients with total dentures. Sensibilisation to acrylates is not frequent. It can be reliably ascertained by means of the patch tests with the scraping of the patients denture. Testing with liquid monomer is not reliable, as the sensibilisation can be provoked by the accelerators of the polymerization, or by acrylic compounds discovered later. It has been proved that the testing need not necessarily be performed on the oral mucosa as the patch tests on the forearm are equally reliable. If the results with denture scrapings are negative, some other cause for the disturbances must be looked for, because the allergic pathogenesis is quite exceptional.
