چکیده
Background The oral contact dermatitis caused by cinnamon was initially described by Drake in 1976, in a patient with stomatitis caused by toothpaste containing cinnamon. It is an uncommon mechanisms due to the oral mucosa ́s own mechanisms such as saliva that acts as a diluent and buffer, and a low number of antigen presenting cells present. Cases with multiple forms of presentation are described in the literature, the actual incidence is unknown due to the multitude of compounds used mainly in dental prosthetics. The oral contact dermatitis is an uncommon condition caused by various agents. We present the case of a patient with a recurrent glossitis and pain in the oral mucosa, caused by a reaction to the consumption of cinnamon-flavoured chewing gums.
