Shovel-Shaped Incisors in a Northwestern Argentine Population

Abstract
The prevalence and the inheritance of shovel-shaped incisors were studied in children from northwestern Argentine provinces. One hundred percent of the deciduous and permanent incisors were shovel shaped, and a high frequency of the S-gene in the permanent dentition was found. These findings demonstrate a strong Mongoloid genetic component in this population.
