✦ Synopsis

In 1966 during a dental survey of four districts in Uganda-Acholi in the north, Bugisu in the east, and Kigezi and Tor0 i n the southwest -1169 Africans were examined. In the sample from Kigezi District 11.9% of the Bakiga tribe showed a form of dental mutilation consisting of the filing away of the mcsial angle of the upper central incisors. In the sample Irom Acholi District 16.1% of the Acholi tribe showed abnormal conditions related to the ritual extraction of the primary canines. Extraction of the lower permanent incisors was seen occasionally in the Acholis ( 8 ) , Batoros (1) and Bugisus (3).

Removal of the primary canines is attributed to a belief that infantile fever originates from these teeth. Because the primary canines were removed in a crude fashion, malformation, non-eruption or premature eruption of the underlying permanent canines resulted.
