Drugs and materials used in dentistry are known to induce allergic reactions, and practitioners are treating patients who suffer from allergic conditions. Clinicians should be prepared for potential hazards these individuals may encounter. Comprehension of the classes of hypersensitive reactions, manifestations, and principles associated with treatment of allergies for effective management will be discussed. Discussion will also include mechanisms and manifestations of allergic reactions associated with latex components and products, as well as evolving prevention strategies.
