The tooth filing ceremony, in Bali (Indonesia). La cérémonie du limage de dents à Bali (Indonésie).
Among Balinese Hindus boys and girls, the tooth filing is one of the rites of passage from the child to the adult age. It has a deeply religious purpose. The dental technician (sangging) his index finger on the flat of the file (kikir) sets to work filing. Only six teeth of the upper jawbone are modified: the two canine teeth and the four incisors between them and the amount of filing done depends upon the wishes of the patients: it can consist of just either a few quick strokes or if people want, their teeth can be filed even more (Bali - Indonesia). Chez les garçons et filles Balinais Hindous, le limage de dents est l' un des rites de passage de l' enfance à l' âge adulte. Il a une profonde signification religieuse. Le technicien dentaire (sangging) l' index posé sur le plat de la lime (kikir) se met au limage. Seules six dents du maxillaire sont modifiées: les quatre incisives et les deux canines qui les entourent. Et le résultat dépend des voeux des patients: il peut consister en seulement quelques coups rapides de lime ou en un limage effectif (Bali - Indonésie).
