The most common complications for patients wearing silver ear piercing ornaments are atheromas (12,9%), gold - infection (11,8%), for composite alloys – infection and perichondritis (8,6% each) and for titanium – ear laceration and other mechanical defects (7,6%)The highest risk of inflammatory complications was determined for the groups using gold earrings (375 millesimal finenesses) and stainless earrings.
