Amalgam-related oral lichenoid reaction.

Abstract
In 52 patients with oral lichen planus topographically related to amalgam restorations, the fillings were replaced by other materials in 18, 16 of whom experienced complete remission of the lesions within 1-12 months. These results are discussed in relation to the results of epicutaneous patch tests for possible allergy to a number of mercury compounds. The term "oral lichenoid reaction", is suggested to describe these lesions.
