Missing canines: a novel aetiology.
Australian Dental Journal 2018 November 28
Infant oral mutilation is the practice of removing developing tooth germs, commonly the mandibular canine, in infants up to the age of 1 year. Subsequent complications include missing, impacted or hypoplastic permanent anterior and canine teeth.

It is important that general dental practitioners are aware of this practice and resulting complications when treating families from sub-Saharan East Africa.
