背景：舌穿孔的日益普及促使一些病例报告记录了这种做法的口腔并发症。然而，没有研究评估潜在的重要参数。本研究的目的是评估时间（磨损年数）和舌头杠铃大小（干长度）对牙龈退缩和牙齿chipping.Methods的效果：52个成年人（平均年龄22岁）与舌穿孔进行了检查牙龈退缩舌方面的12个前牙和牙齿在口腔中的任何地方削。受试者根据佩戴年限（0至2年、2至4年和4年以上）和杠铃柄长度（长大于或等于1.59 cm，或短）进行分组
Background: The increasing popularity of tongue piercing has prompted several case reports documenting oral complications of this practice. However, there are no studies assessing potentially significant parameters. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of time (years of wear) and tongue barbell size (stem length) on gingival recession and tooth chipping.Methods: Fifty-two adults (mean age 22) with tongue piercings were examined for gingival recession on the lingual aspect of the 12 anterior teeth and for tooth chipping anywhere in the mouth. Subjects were grouped according to years of wear (0 to 2, 2 to 4, and 4+ years) and barbell stem length (long greater than or equal to1.59 cm, or short
