Le limage des dents peut consister à donner une forme aux dents, ou à limer les dents jusqu'au gencives pour les rendre invisibles, les dents sont aussi parfois arrachées (extraction). Le limage des dents a un but cultuel décoratif et ne touche que les dents visibles : incisives, canines, prémolaires. Le limage des dents a eu lieu un peu partout dans le monde: Afrique, Asie, Amérique, Europe. Une étude indique que le limage des dents a pour but de ressembler à l'animal totem. Une autre étude indique que le limage des dents est motivé par l'esthétique, le courage et la bravoure, la notabilité ou la hiérarchie sociale . L'esthétique dentaire était la principale raison chez les jeunes filles. (fr) La limatura dei denti è una modificazione corporale che prevede interventi sui denti, nella maggior parte dei casi sugli incisivi o sui canini, atti a rimodellarne la forma, rendendoli, a seconda dei casi, più acuminati o del tutto abrasi. Si tratta di una pratica propria di molte culture in tutto il globo, che la adottano a volte solamente come vezzo estetico ma a volte, anche, come vero e proprio rito di passaggio. Nel tempo il numero delle tribù che praticano la limatura dei denti è molto diminuito, soprattutto dopo che tali popolazioni sono venute a contatto con il cosiddetto mondo civilizzato e, oggi, tale pratica è limitata solo ad alcuni gruppi in Africa centrale ed in Indonesia. Al di fuori di un contesto tribale, la limatura dei denti è un'operazione odontoiatrica volta a correggere alcuni inestetismi od a preparare i denti per ulteriori trattamenti e che, quindi, coinvolge solo pochi decimi di millimetro dello strato di smalto. Tuttavia, esistono, comunque, persone che la adottano come modificazione corporale estrema, facendosi limare i denti allo stesso livello di quanto accadeva nelle suddette tribù. (it) |
