    MELISA is a blood test to aid the diagnosis of metal hypersensitivity. It is used worldwide by healthcare professionals to help determine whether patients are hypersensitive to metals commonly used in dental restorations or medical implants. Further test applications include Lyme disease.

    We are thrilled that the US FDA is finally doing more studies on the effect of metal implants, while also admitting that animal studies do not accurately reflect what happens when metallic implants are placed in humans. In this study, they look at the potential issues with the nickel titanium (NiTi) alloy, concluding that: "the results here demonstrated that nickel and NiTi NP can enter both types of cells, with deleterious consequences." and "there are significant biocompatibility issues in metallic implants that may be missed because humans respond to nickel ions and nano-/micro-sized NiTi particles much differently than rodents".

    Did you know that titanium dioxide - one of the most popular pigments in use - is commonly added to food, as well as to toothpaste, sunscreen and cosmetics? This year, the use of titanium dioxide (E171) as a food additive in the European Union is prohibited due to potential genotoxicity, i.e. the titanium dioxide particles’ ability to damage DNA.
    A class action lawsuit has now been filed against the Mars Corporation, maker of Skittles, due to the titanium content in the sweets. In 2016, the company announced they would be eliminating titanium from their products by 2021, but so far there has been no change.

    Can titanium clips used in surgery cause health issues? This is a case of a 55-year-old female who after a gallbladder removal experienced pain, diarrhea, nausea and neuralgia. The patient was eventually diagnosed with a hypersensitivity reaction to the titanium clips used in the surgery. Four clips were identified and removed and the symptoms improved after removal. The patient had a known history of metal (nickel) allergy, as well as multiple other allergies. The authors recommend preoperative allergy testing for patients with history of known allergies, especially those with metal allergies to prevent further complication or aid in diagnosis and treatment.

    In this study, genes of patients who had developed allergies to their CoCr hip implants were compared to genes of patients who remained symptom-free. The results showed that development of delayed type hypersensitivity is associated with patient age, gender, level of metal exposure and the presence of certain genes (HLA class II alleles). The authors suggest that more resources should be directed towards improving the understanding of patients' immune responses to implant materials.

    If a patient has a known metal allergy, Dr. Pritchett recommends metal-free implant options. Also, if a patient is concerned about metal allergy or sensitivity, metal allergy tests can be done. He talks about his experience with patients with metal hypersensitivity, and what options patients have, on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrx9Pd8wVLo
