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 ...

Ancient Egyptians pierced their navels to signify royalty, Roman centurions wore nipple rings as a sign of virility and courage and Mayans pierced their tongues for spiritual purposes, The Eskimos and Aleuts pierced the lips of female infants as part of a purification ritual and the lower lip of the boys as part of passage into puberty. It is that apparent that oral piercings are becoming much more prevalent in today's society. Popular sites for body piercing include the ears, eyebrows, lips, nose, nipples, navel, penis, scrotum, labia, clitoris and tongue.
