Abstract
Infant oral mutilation is the practice of removing developing tooth germs, commonly the mandibular canine, in infantsup to the age of 1 year. Subsequent complications include missing, impacted or hypoplastic permanent anterior andcanine teeth. We report on a case of bilaterally missing lower canines thought to be due to infant oral mutilation. It isimportant that general dental practitioners are aware of this practice and resulting complications when treating families from sub-Saharan East Africa.
