Primary Canine Hypoplasia in African American and Indonesian Children: Prevalence, Expression and Tooth Size

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 187, Issue 4, August 2025.
Primary canine hypoplasia is more frequent in stressed African American Gullah (12.7% teeth, 33.0% individuals) than in middle class Malay of Indonesia (3.1% teeth, 11.4% individuals). Hypoplastic defects are larger and more severe in Gullah than in Malay, confirming this defect is associated with socio‐economic status.
