Resumo: Purpose: Dental amalgam has been used as a dental restoration for more than 165 years. However, some patients with these restorations may present oral lichenoid lesions (OLL). OLL are chronic oral mucosal contact reactions to dental amalgam. Their diagnosis usually is based on the direct contact of the affected mucosa with the amalgam restorations, clinical appearance, and lack of migrations. A patch-test for mercury can be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Case description: Two clinical cases were diagnosed as related to OLL. In both cases, the patients complained of a burning sensation in the oral mucosa adjacent to the amalgam restorations. The treatment involved replacing the amalgam restorations by composite. A complete remission of the painful symptoms was observed after 17 days in one case and after one month in the other, although the lesions in the oral mucosa did not disappear completely. Conclusion: Dentists should be aware of OLL occurrence close to amalgam restorations and should be able to diagnose it and recommend the best treatment option.

Entretanto, alguns pacientes com estas restaurações têm demonstrado a ocorrência de lesões liquenóides orais (LLO). As LLO são reações de contato da mucosa oral crônicas ao amálgama dentário. Geralmente, o diagnóstico da lesão é feito pelo contato direto da mucosa afeta com a restauração de amalgama, pela aparência clínica, e a ausência de migrações. Um teste de contato para o mercúrio pode ser realizado para confirmar o diagnóstico. Descrição do caso: Dois casos clínicos foram diagnosticados como LLO. Em ambos os casos, os pacientes relataram sofrer de sensação de queimação na mucosa oral adjacente às restaurações de amálgama. Para ambos pacientes, os tratamentos envolveram a substituição das restaurações de amálgama. Completa remissão da sintomatologia dolorosa foi observada após 17 dias em um caso e após 30 dias em outro, embora as lesões na mucosa intrabucal não tenham desaparecido completamente. Conclusão: Os cirurgiões-dentistas devem estar cientes da ocorrência da LLO relacionadas a restaurações de amálgama e devem saber como fazer o diagnóstico correto para assim recomendar a melhor forma de tratamento.EDIPUCRS - Editora Universitária da PUCRS2011-07-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/8718Revista Odonto Ciência; Vol. 26 No. 3 (2011); 258 - 261Revista Odonto Ciência; v. 26 n. 3 (2011); 258 - 2611980-65230102-9460reponame:Revista odonto ciência (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/8718/6889Barbosa, Marília OliveiraSilva, Adriana Fernandes daCarvalho, Rodrigo Varella deTarquinio, Sandra Beatriz ChavesDemarco, Flávio Fernandoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-11-11T11:52:28Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/8718Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/foPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/oai||odontociencia@pucrs.br1980-65230102-9460opendoar:2013-11-11T11:52:28Revista odonto ciência (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
