[The complexion and color of teeth in a Black African population. Apropos of a sample of 240 subjects]. / Carnation et teinte des dents chez le sujet africain mélanoderme. A propos d'un échantillon de 240 sujets.

From a sample divides in five groups of different skin colours, the authors determine, by the visual method, the shade of incisives, canines and first premolars. This study allows to confirm the harmony between the anterior teeth among African melanoderme subjects. Then, it underlines a possible relation between the skin colour and the teeth's shade. In fact, the shade of the teeth seems to evolve in the opposite direction of the colour of the skin in the experimental sample.
