“…Within the last few years, the American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA, 1998) and the American Dental Association (ADA, 2000) have each issued statements opposing the use of any type of oral piercing because of the associated health risks. The use of labrets is believed to have severe dental repercussions, and has been the focus of many reports concerned with the rising popularity of body piercing (Boardman & Smith, 1997;Price & Lewis, 1997;ADHA, 1998;Bethke & Reichart, 1999). These investigations have provided a clinical framework within which to analyse the remains of individual 2071.…”

Oral implications of labret use: a case from pre‐Columbian Chile

This paper examines the osteological evidence for a case of long-term labret use in preColumbian north Chile and the pathological conditions associated with it. The burials from the site of Solcor 3 (AD 400-900) included a complete skeleton associated with two quartz labrets. Analysis of the skeleton of this adult male revealed wear and polish on the labial surface of both mandibular canines, indicating that the labrets were worn as a pair on either side of the midline of the lower lip. In addition to these abrasion facets, there were also areas of periosteal reaction in the alveolar bone of the canines. These patterns were analysed from the perspective of the clinical dentistry literature and compared to archaeological data. It is concluded that this individual's dental health was affected by wearing labrets, although not as seriously as might be expected based on contemporary medical reports.

“…As a consequence, dentists will be seeing more patients manifesting these symptoms, and should be familiar with the potential of associated oral and dental problems. In the dental and medical literature post‐procedure complications are described in the form of tissue oedema (Bethke & Reichart 1999), haemorrhage (Hardee et al . 2000), tetanus (Dyce et al .…”

Labial piercing resulting in gingival recession. A case series

Several complications of oral piercing have been recently reported in the medical and dental literature. Even though few people have had problems related to oral piercing, dentists should familiarise themselves with the potential associated oral and dental problems. We present three cases of young people with gingival recession in the mandibular incisor area related to labial piercing. The clinical examination and the dental history of the three cases revealed the relationship between the gingival recession and the presence of labial piercing. In particular, a stud in the lower lip was held in place by a metal disk on the inner labial mucosa in each case. The metal disk was in close proximity to the mandibular front teeth and it would appear that it was responsible for local trauma and recession. This case series reinforces previously reported concerns regarding the practice of piercing and the role of the dentist, both in advising patients with oral or facial piercing and in the treatment of related oral, gingival and dental problems.

Labrets in Africa and Amazonia: medical implications and cultural determinants

The custom of wearing labrets has a long tradition. Labrets appeared independently several thousand years ago in various culture groups in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas. Today, apart from diverse body modifications as increasingly practiced in western civilisations, lip plates and plugs are found among a small number of tribal groups only in Africa and Amazonia. We summarise the history of labrets in different societies, describe medical consequences of wearing lip plates and plugs for jaws and teeth and address relevant cultural issues.
