We report a case of a pediatric patient who developed systemic reactions due to nickel allergy after receiving stainless steel crown treatment for dental caries. The patient experienced eczema, itching, and rash on her thighs, gingiva, hands, and feet after the treatment. The symptoms were diagnosed as a nickel allergy reaction and were subsequently treated with first generation antihistamine. This case highlights the potential risk of developing nickel allergy reactions after receiving stainless steel crown treatment and emphasizes the importance of careful selection of materials and monitoring of patients during and after dental procedures.
