“…Although Ti is widely used in clinical practice because of its high biocompatibility, more and more literature in the recent past related to its sensitization and allergic response was reported . A case of contact dermatitis caused by the fractured end of the titanium nail fixation and the implant repair was reported . The investigators of Ti contact allergy patients found the allergy rate of 0.6% .…”

“…Clinical reports have indicated that changing to porcelain or hybrid resin restorations and titanium dentures is the best way to treat patients with metal allergies 9,50) . Recently, allergic reactions to titanium implants have been reported and may gradually increase in the future [58][59][60] . Although implants, superstructures, and crown-bridges can be fabricated with zirconia as metal-free restorations, it would be difficult to use zirconia for RPD frameworks because zirconia bars and clasp arms are easily breakable.…”

The use of a single metal for all restorations would be necessary because it protects against metal corrosion caused by the contact of different metals. For this "one-metal rehabilitation" concept, non-alloyed commercially pure (CP) titanium should be used for all restorations. Titanium frameworks have been cast and used for the long term without catastrophic failure, whereas they have been fabricated recently using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). However, the milling process for the frameworks of removable partial dentures (RPDs) is not easy because they have very complicated shapes and consist of many components. Currently, the fabrication of RPD frameworks has been challenged by one-process molding using repeated laser sintering and high-speed milling. Laser welding has also been used typically for repairing and rebuilding titanium frameworks. Although laboratory and clinical problems still remain, the one-metal rehabilitation concept using CP titanium as a bioinert metal can be recommended for all restorations.

“…Allergic reactions to gold in dental prostheses have been well documented since the 1980s [141]. More recent literature has also discussed allergic reactions in response to dental implants using nickel [142][143][144][145], titanium [141,146], and palladium [147].…”

The use of metals in the medical field has become increasingly prevalent over the past few decades. Patients find themselves being exposed to metals in a variety of ways, ranging from external exposure to instruments such as the stainless steel in surgical blades to internal exposure via medical devices being implanted in their bodies. There has been growing interest in the possibility of developing hypersensitivity reactions to constituent metals in medical implant devices, both in cutaneous and systemic forms. Hypersensitivity reactions to metals are uncommon, but they are reported and require appropriate evaluation and management, particularly if they are symptomatic. In view of the lack of consensus in the field on the appropriate steps to evaluate and manage patients with suspected metal hypersensitivity reactions, this review aims to analyze current evidence on hypersensitivity reactions to metallic implants in orthopedic surgery, endovascular surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and dental surgery. Key words: Metal hypersensitivity. Metallic implants. ResumenEl empleo de metales dentro de la medicina ha ido aumentando de forma progresiva en las últimas décadas. Los pacientes se exponen a metales de diferentes formas desde fuentes externas, como instrumental quirúrgico como el presente en las hojas de acero de los bisturíes, hasta implantes metálicos. Como consecuencia de ello se está produciendo un interés creciente por la posibilidad de desarrollar reacciones de hipersensibilidad a metales presentes en los materiales y objetos implantados, tanto en forma de reacciones cutáneas como sistémicas. Las reacciones de hipersensibilidad a metales no son frecuentes, pero pueden desarrollarse, y por ello, requieren de un diagnóstico y tratamiento adecuado, especialmente en aquellos pacientes que desarrollen síntomas. No existe un consenso en el proceso diagnóstico ni en el tratamiento de estas reacciones en los pacientes con sospecha de alergia a metales. Esta revisión tiene por objeto actualizar la evidencia existente sobre las reacciones de hipersensibilidad a implantes metálicos en cirugía ortopédica, cirugía endovascular, cirugía obstétrica y ginecológica (OB-GYN) así como la dental. Palabras clave: Hipersensibilidad a metales. Implantes metálicos.
