Canine tooth bud removal is a process of gouging out an infant's canine tooth buds, using unsterile tools such as Sharpe blade, garlic, or knitting needle, without anesthesia. The aim of the study was to reveal dental complications of canine tooth bud removal among children who visited the dental clinic of the University of Gondar hospital. This study was an institution-based cross-sectional conducted from January 2015 to September 2016 at the University of Gondar hospital on 2-12 years children. The tooth was assessed for whether it had previously oral mutilated or not. In addition to this, the oral cavity was evaluated for the presence of missed, malformed or normal canine.
A group of 355 children aged 2-12 years was examined clinically. The mean age of the children was 7.32 ± 3.12 (SD). The prevalence of canine tooth bud removal was 86.8% which was high in 6-9 years old (54.87%) and first position children (40.26%). The most common dental complications were; malformed enamel (hypoplastic) canine (48.5%) and missed/unerupted canine (38.6%).
去除犬牙牙胚是指在未实施麻醉的情况下，使用诸如锋利刀片、大蒜或织针等未消毒工具，挖除婴儿的犬牙牙胚。本研究的目的是揭示前往贡德尔大学医院牙科诊所就诊的儿童中，去除犬牙牙胚后的牙齿并发症情况。本研究是一项基于机构的横断面研究，于2015年1月至2016年9月在贡德尔大学医院针对2至12岁儿童开展。评估牙齿之前是否有口腔损伤情况。除此之外，还对口腔内犬牙缺失、畸形或正常情况进行评估。
对一组355名2至12岁儿童进行了临床检查。儿童的平均年龄为7.32 ± 3.12（标准差）。去除犬牙牙胚的患病率为86.8%，在6至9岁儿童（54.87%）和头胎儿童（40.26%）中患病率较高。最常见的牙齿并发症为：釉质发育不全（发育不良）的犬牙（48.5%）以及缺失/未萌出的犬牙（38.6%）。
