Removal of oral and nasal jewelry also is recommended before nonemergency surgical procedures.…”

THE COMMITTEE ON ADOLESCENCE Tattoos, piercing, and scarification are now commonplace among adolescents and young adults. This first clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics on voluntary body modification will review the methods used to perform the modifications. Complications resulting from body modification methods, although not common, are discussed to provide the pediatrician with management information. Body modification will be contrasted with nonsuicidal self-injury. When available, information also is presented on societal perceptions of body modification. abstract Tattoos, piercings, and scarification, also known as "body modifications, " are commonly obtained by adolescents and young adults. Previous reports on those who obtain tattoos, piercings, and scarification have focused mainly on high-risk populations, including at-risk adolescents. 1 Tattooing and piercing of various body parts no longer is a high-riskpopulation phenomenon, as evidenced by growing numbers of adults and adolescents not considered at risk who have tattoos and multiple ear and body piercings. The Pew Research Center reports that in 2010, 38% of 18 to 29 year olds had at least 1 tattoo, and 23% had piercings in locations other than an earlobe. 2 Of those with tattoos, 72% were covered and not visible. 2 Scarification is the practice of intentionally irritating the skin to cause a permanent pattern of scar tissue; data are not currently available on the prevalence of scarification in the United States.Although body modifications have become a mainstream trend, they still may be associated with medical complications and, among adolescents, may also co-occur with high-risk behaviors. This first clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics on tattooing, piercing, and scarification discusses the history of these methods of body modification, educates the reader on methods used, reports on trends in associated adolescent and young adult risk behaviors, differentiates between nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and body modifications, and educates the reader about how to anticipate and prevent potential medical complications. The report analyzes the literature about societal acceptance of people with body modifications and perceptions that

“…Une réponse pourrait être qu'il existe autant de motivations que d'adeptes du piercing : soucis de rébellion envers la société, contre l'autorité parentale ; souhait d'individualiser son corps vis-à-vis de la « masse » ; phénomène d'identification à des personnages connus du monde du cinéma, de la chanson... ; quête de réappropriation du corps passant par la souffrance de celui-ci ; recherche de vertus sexuelles (augmentation du plaisir sexuel pour le ou la partenaire [16]) ; possibilité de bénéfices spirituels [17] ; raisons esthétiques [18] ; faire montre de courage et d'audace ; désir d'appartenance à une communauté, un groupe ; pression des pairs ; etc.…”

De Moor et al ont présenté trois cas de délabrements dentaires dus à des piercings linguaux, deux de ces cas se sont soldés par la perte de la dent endommagée [18]. Les mêmes auteurs ont rapporté que les éléments prothétiques, en céramique particulièrement, ne sont pas non plus à l'abri de fractures.…”

Mots clés : piercing lingual / complications / odontologie / arméeRésumé -Avec plus de 100 000 actes par an en France, le piercing en général et le piercing lingual en particulier sont désormais un phénomène de société. Avec des complications multiples, très fréquentes (près d'un porteur de piercing lingual sur 2 a au moins une dent fracturée du fait du piercing) et parfois létales, le piercing lingual est devenu un problème de santé publique. La prise en compte de ces complications se limite actuellement à la maîtrise de la transmission des agents infectieux lors du perçage. Ceci semble extrêmement réducteur comparé aux nombreuses conséquences délétères de la pose, puis du port du piercing lingual qui ont incité plusieurs sociétés savantes civiles à prendre position contre le perçage de la langue. Dans ce contexte l'armée française, en s'appuyant sur des faits scientifiques avérés, doit pouvoir répondre à une pratique à même de remettre en question la capacité opérationnelle de ses forces. Key words: tongue piercing / complications / odontology / armyAbstract -Tongue piercing and its adverse effects: military implications. In western populations, the insertion of metal objects into intra-oral pierced sites is growing in popularity. This practice is considered by consumers as totally trivial and most of them have absolutely no idea of the consequences of tongue piercing. In fact, complications are frequent and can appear due to the intervention and/or during the carrying of the piercing. Firstly, during the intervention can appear infectious and/or non infectious complications. Infections, viral or bacterial, as consequences of the piercing are very frequent (in 10 to 30% of piercing). Some of these complications are life threatening. Non infectious complications are pain, swelling, bleeding, lingual nerve damage... Secondly, during carrying of tongue piercing can appear odontological and/or non odontological complications. Non odontological complications are secondary infectious, swallowed or inhaled jewellery, pathological healing, allergic reactions, hypersalivation, speech impediment... Odontological complications are very frequent with deleterious consequences: cracking or chipping of teeth, abrasions, gingival recession or loss of periodontal attachment... The growing in popularity of tongue piercing is also a reality in the french army. The analysis of cases reports and international (civilian and military) recommendations make us consider tongue piercing as a factor of decreasing operational capability of military troops. For this reason we recommend the absolute interdiction of tongue piercing during military operations.Le piercing, terminologie couramment utilisée en France pour désigner le terme anglais body piercing, regroupe diverses pratiques de modification corporelle qui se caracté-risent par une effraction de la barrière cutanée (le plus souvent à l'aide d'aiguilles) avec mise en place durable d'un objet Si le perçage de divers sites anatomiques est une pratique qui remonte à plusieurs milliers ...
