Abstract: | The prevalence and severity of latex allergies have rapidly increased recently. This article presents two cases of patients with rubber latex allergy. The patient in case A was unaware of her sensitivity to latex and presented symptoms of contact dermatitis-stomatitis during endodontic treatment. The patient in case B reported latex allergy before the initiation of the treatment and a different approach was followed. Certain aspects of latex allergy related to the endodontic treatment are discussed. Moreover, a protocol is proposed for treatment of patients with latex hypersensitivity with safety. |
