Results: The results showed that the most characteristic shape shovel on Dayak Bukit and Dayak Ngaju are 2 (semi shovel) and Banjar Hulu is 1 (trace shovel). Data were analyzed using Chi-Square test with p=0,0001(p <0.05) indicate a difference in the shovel shape of maxillary first incisors among Dayak Bukit, Dayak Ngaju Dayak, and Banjar Hulu, then performed the Chi-Square test on each of two tribes to describe the comparison between tribes which have differences.
