However, little is known about enamel defects of deciduous teeth in great apes. Unresolved questions addressed in this study are: Do hypoplastic enamel defects occur with equal frequency in different groups of great apes? Are enamel hypoplasias more prevalent in the deciduous teeth of male or female apes? During what phase of dental development do enamel defects tend to form? And, what part of the dental crown is most commonly affected?<\/jats:p><jats:p>To answer these questions, infant and juvenile skulls of two sympatric genera of great apes (<jats:italic>Gorilla<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Pan<\/jats:italic>) were examined for dental enamel hypoplasias. Specimens from the Powell\u2010Cotton Museum (Quex Park, UK; n = 107) are reported here, and compared with prior findings based on my examination of juvenile apes at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History (Hamman\u2010Todd Collection; n = 100) and Smithsonian Institution (National Museum of Natural History; n = 36). All deciduous teeth were examined by the author with a \u00d710 hand lens, in oblique incandescent light. Defects were classified using F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Dentaire International (FDI)\/Defects of Dental Enamel (DDE) standards; defect size and location on the tooth crown were measured and marked on dental outline charts.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Enamel defects of ape deciduous teeth are most common on the labial surface of canine teeth. While deciduous incisor and molar teeth consistently exhibit similar defects with prevalences of \u223c10%, canines average between 70\u201375%. Position of enamel defects on the canine crown was analyzed by dividing it into three zones (apical, middle, and cervical) and calculating defect prevalence by zone. Among gorillas, enamel hypoplasia prevalence increases progressively from the apical zone (low) to the middle zone to the cervical zone (highest), in both maxillary and mandibular canine teeth.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results from all three study collections reveal that among the great apes, gorillas (87\u201392%) and orangutans (91%) have a significantly higher prevalence of canine enamel defects than chimpanzees (22\u201348%). Sex differences in canine enamel hypoplasia are small and not statistically significant in any great ape. Factors influencing intergroup variation in prevalence of enamel defects and their distribution on the canine crown, including physiological stress and interspecific dento\u2010gnathic morphological variation, are evaluated.
