Acrylate allergy induced by acrylic nails resulting in prosthesis failure

Non‐occupational allergic contact dermatitis caused by long‐lasting nail polish kits for home use: ‘the tip of the iceberg’

“…It is worrying that the use of long-lasting nail polish may be increasing the prevalence of sensitization to (meth)acrylates. We should also be aware of the fact that sensitization to (meth)acrylates resulting from a purely aesthetic practice may eventually jeopardize the future performance of medical procedures requiring (meth)acrylic materials, such as orthopaedic or dental surgery (11)(12)(13). We believe that kits for home use should be banned.…”

Allergic contact dermatitis caused by acrylates and methacrylates – a 7‐year study

“…(Meth)acrylates constitute an important cause of occupational ACD, with an important impact on a patient's occupational activity as, once individuals are sensitized, it is very difficult for them to obtain effective protection from (meth)acrylates in occupational settings (3). Also, for the sensitized individual, further exposure to the bone cement in orthopaedic or dental implants may cause health problems (7).…”

The role of acrylic acid impurity as a sensitizing component in electrocardiogram electrodes

“…They are widely used in the medical (dental prostheses, temporary bridges and filling, orthopaedic prostheses and cements, contact lenses, and materials for histology), industrial (printing inks, lacquers, paints, glues and adhesives for engineering, electric and electronic applications, plastics, leather, textiles, and floor waxes) and cosmetic (acrylic nails and powder fillers in face creams) fields . As widely reported in the literature, (meth)acrylate monomers frequently cause allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), both in occupational and in non‐occupational settings.…”
