djmartin has provided a very good solution in this post.

Just you nees to add '.' and '-' in the code.

You code will be like

begin
   if rtrim (upper (:BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME), ' ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-.') is not null then
      message ('The entry is not allowed');
      raise form_trigger_failure;
   end if;
end;

regards.
