Descriptive Information
Brief Title Contact Allergies to Dental Metal as a Possible Risk Factor for Oral Cancer
Official Title Oral Metal Contact Allergy: A Cause of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma?
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Gathering information about allergies to metals may help doctors learn whether having an allergy to metal used in dental work increases the risk of developing oral cancer.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying contact allergies to dental metal as a possible risk factor for oral cancer.
Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Identify the relationship between intraoral metal contact allergy and epithelial carcinogenesis in patients with newly or previously diagnosed intraoral squamous cell carcinoma.
  • Compare the prevalence of metal contact allergy in these patients with control data from other existing study populations.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

  • Participants undergo metal patch testing using 27 metals* commonly used in dental repairs that are part of the Mayo metal series. Metal patches are applied to the patient's back for 3 days and the back is read on days 3 and 5. Relevant patient data obtained from their medical and dental history, physical exam, laboratory values and treatment are documented.

NOTE: *Healthy volunteers (control) undergo metal patch testing using 8 metals most commonly positive for contact allergens.
