Macrodontia (tooth) – Definition
Males tend to have larger teeth than females, and tooth size also varies according to race. Abnormal tooth size is defined by some as when the dimensions are more than 2 standard deviations from the average. Macrodontia is when the teeth are abnormally large, and microdontia is when they are abnormally small.
Macrodontia (tooth) – Types | True generalized macrodontia
All teeth, although the same size, grow in larger than normal. This is seen in cases of growth hormone excess called pituitary gigantism. It is the rarest of the types.
Microdontia – Definition
Males tend to have larger teeth than females, and tooth size also varies according race. Abnormal tooth size is defined by some as when the dimensions are more than 2 standard deviations from the average. Microdontia is when the teeth are abnormally small, and macrodontia is when the teeth are abnormally large.
Microdontia – Classification | True generalized microdontia
All the teeth are smaller than the normal size. True generalized microdontia is very rare, and occurs in pituitary dwarfism. Due to decreased levels of growth hormone the teeth fail to develop to a normal size.
