Complications arising from the use oforal piercings may occur during or after the procedure, the main as follows:
• Complications during placement:pain, nerve damage, edema, hemorrhage, diseases (such as hepatitis, HIV, etc.)
• Complications immediate placement: local inflammation, localized infection, mucosal trauma, bacteremia,Ludwig angina .
• Late complications: tissue hyperplasia, enamel, tooth fracture, gingival recession, aspiration or ingestion, hypersensitivity, salivation, calculus formation in piercing, halitosis, Interference radiographic, adverse reactions, alterations in phonation, swallowing and chewing.
The increase of these conditions is especially due to the lack of oral hygiene perforated site and because the procedure is usually performed empirically and without proper hygiene measures (disinfection and sterilization). Moreover, in most countries there is no control over who make piercings , so anyone can start a business of this type anywhere, without filling any requirement.
If the piercing is performed with contaminated equipment may cause diseases such as hepatitis, candidiasis, Epstein Barr virus, pseudomonas infection, herpes simplex virus or AIDS.
That's why I gave the many complications that occur, the oral health professionals advise against the use of oral piercings . Associations Recognized as TheAmerican Dental Association , have spoken about it and has been sharply opposed to the use of piercings on the lips, cheeks or tongue and have warned of its enormous risks to the population.
The placement and use of piercings , especially oral, is not without significant risks and complications, so it should be a restricted practice or at least regulated and should be more widely the risks of the practice.
