The article focuses on contact stomatitis caused due to NN-dimethyl-para-toludine. Allergic resins are among the most widely used compound in dental practice for construction of prostheses. These resins are produced by inducing polymerization of a mixture of methyl methacrylate monomer and polymethyl methacrylate powder with benzyl peroxide and an accelerator. In this process of polymerization is rarely complete. The article presents information on a case study of a 62 year old house wife with a problem of burning and soreness of the mouth which lasted for 1 month.

Although topical antihistamines are a frequent cause of contact dermatitis, contact sensitization to chlorpheniramine maleate, an antihistamine group, is reported to be rare. A 45-year old housewife had a chronic eczema of the face for 4 years. She had not been using topical medicaments or cosmetics there, with the exception of eyedrops used in the treatment of chronic conjunctivitis. Patch tests with the GIRDCA standard series and photopatch tests were negative. The patient had sporadically used an antihistamine cream containing chlorpheniramine maleate for the treatment of insect bites.
