镍是许多正畸材料中的常见成分。对镍过敏在人群中很常见，尤其是女性。这种过敏随着更频繁地使用含镍珠宝和口内穿孔而增加。因此，这种过敏症在牙科实践中可能更容易遇到。可能对镍过敏应该是初始患者健康史问卷中的问题。牙科医生在正畸治疗过程中应注意这种过敏，并知道如何诊断镍过敏，如果它出现，以及随后的治疗和转诊行动，如果它是可疑的。本文提供了一个总结镍过敏，其流行病学，诊断和建议和替代治疗。还报告了在正畸患者中发现的两种情况的详细描述。
Nickel is a common component in many orthodontic materials. An allergy to nickel is commonly seen in the population, more frequently in women. This allergy has increased with the more frequent use of nickel containing jewellery and intraoral piercings. As a result, this allergy can be expected to be more readily encountered in dental practice. Possible allergy to nickel should be a question in the initial patient health history questionnaire. The dental practitioner should be mindful of this allergy during the course of orthodontic treatment, and know how to diagnose a nickel allergy if it appears and subsequent action in treatment and referral if it is suspected. This paper provides a summary of nickel allergy, its epidemiology, diagnosis and recommendations and alternatives to treatment. A detailed description of two cases where it was discovered in orthodontic patients is also reported.
