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

Photosystem I
Both these photosystems work in concert. An excited electron from PSII is relayed to PSI via an electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast, which is comprised of the carrier molecule plastoquinone, the dual-protein cytochrome complex, and plastocyanin. As electrons move between PSII and PSI, they lose energy and must be re-energized...
