Allergy caused by light-cured ear-moulds.

Abstract
This investigation was conducted after the occurrence of allergic contact dermatitis in three laboratory technicians all engaged in the production of UV-light-cured acrylate ear-moulds. Ninety patients fitted with such moulds claimed discomfort to the same extent as patients with traditionally made acryl moulds. Of thirteen patients seen for clinical examination, seven were tested for allergy in the same way as the technicians and four were found to be sensitized to monomere metacrylates in the wax. The handling of the base materials in the laboratory as well as the UV-light-curing procedure needs further investigation.
