Abstract

Research has shown that both public and private hospitals worldwide lack the proper facilities to conduct Metal Allergy Metal Allergy LTT (Lymphocyte transformation test) (type IV) and MELISA (Memory Lymphocyte Immuno-Stimulation Assay (blood test)) to aid the diagnosis of metal hypersensitivity. Titanium alloys are widely used in surgical implants and it is proving to have positive long-term outcomes while maintaining good health, but its success is influenced by various factors. This study is focused on developing smart testing devices and techniques for checking patients for metal allergies like titanium, nickel, cobalt, and gold within the hospital premises before performing dental and orthodontic surgical procedures which may lead to various medical risks in young as well as elderly people. These risks are associated with mental disorders such as mood swings, depression, anxiety, phobias, bipolar effective disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia and dementia.
