Patient Sequence No: 1, Text Type: D, B5
[11480248]
During the hospitalization, the patient was diagnosed with an allergy to copper. The orthodontist described the reaction as "the body was fighting itself". The patient had become very weak and was in a wheelchair when visiting the orthodontist for removal of the brackets and wire. No information with regard to diagnostic testing or prescription medications was provided. The orthodontist reported that the damon cuniti archwire and the damon q brackets were not believed to be the reason for the reaction. The patient did not experience any redness or swelling in the mouth. It was determined by the hospital that the likely cause of the reaction was from copper in the water pipes at home or other domestic sources; however, the damon cuniti archwire and the damon q brackets were removed as a precautionary measure. It was confirmed that the patient has fully recovered and is doing fine. The product was not returned and no lot number was provided; therefore, no evaluation can be conducted.
