"Body art" is a relatively recent fashion in the western world, but appears to be gaining in popularity. It involves tattooing, scarification, and the wearing of jewelry in unconventional places on the body. This article discusses one form of "body art"--tongue piercing. The presence of metal jewelry in the oral cavity presents oral hygiene problems, as well as the risk of the development of undesirable sequelae. It may become the responsibility of the dentist to advise the patient on the care and maintenance of this jewelry, and to treat complications.
“人体艺术”在西方世界是一种相对较新的时尚潮流，且似乎越来越受欢迎。它包括纹身、划痕以及在身体非常规部位佩戴首饰。本文讨论“人体艺术”的一种形式——舌环。口腔内金属首饰的存在会带来口腔卫生问题以及产生不良后遗症的风险。就这种首饰的护理和保养向患者提供建议并治疗相关并发症可能会成为牙医的职责。
