Presentation
Radiographically, both the mandibular second premolars presented with single root and increased crown and root dimension ( Figure 3 ). [pubs.sciepub.com]
(Table 1) All other teeth present were of normal morphology. Midline shift of maxillary arch towards the right side was noted. Dimensions Average values (G.V. [journalgateway.com]
Radiographically, both the canine and premolar presented with single roots. [omicsonline.org]
The scan showed moderate streak artifacts due to an orthodontic palatal expander appliance present on the maxilla. [medcraveonline.com]
Multituberculism has been reported previously in combination with macrodontia and other morphologic anomalies involving the entire dentition. 25 Consistent with the present case and previous publications, isolated macrodont premolar teeth are also present [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Disability
The cardinal manifestations of KS include characteristic facial features, intellectual disability, skeletal defects, dermatoglyphic abnormalities, and postnatal growth deficiencies. [iris.unicz.it]
Family lines with developmental disabilities might also have macrodontia, sometimes between generations or also among siblings. Studies also show ethnicity can be a factor, with higher incidences in Asian populations. [muswellhillsmile.co.uk]
SATB2-associated syndrome is one example of a syndromic cleft palate that is accompanied by intellectual disability, and various dental anomalies. [unboundmedicine.com]
- Inflammation

The patient also presented with marked gingival hyperplasia and inflammation, most likely due to substantial plaque aggregates (Fig. 1C and D). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• We also valued his obstructive upper airway and consulted an otolaryngologist, plus his mom was concerned with his heavy snoring, which disappeared after treatment. • So, here is a little reminder that we can't just look at teeth. [pictame.com]
Cardiovascular
- Heart Disease
This syndrome presents with various ocular, facial, cardiac, and dental symptoms, including congenital cataract, dysmorphic facial features, congenital heart disease, and enlarged roots, respectively. [unboundmedicine.com]
Jaw & Teeth
- Malocclusion
Clinical features • Teeth size – teeth are larger than normal • Malocclusion – there is crowding, which may result in malocclusion • Impaction – as space is less, there is impaction of teeth 6. [slideshare.net]

The decision will depend on various other important factors like associated dental anomalies, age of patient and motivation, aesthetics, pulpal morphology, spacing, crowding and underlying malocclusion. [journalgateway.com]
After 2 months, fixed appliance therapy was initiated by the orthodontist to correct malocclusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Orthodontics This is the standard treatment for poorly aligned teeth, and might also correct malocclusion caused by macrodontia. Success depends on the morphology and size of macrodonts (larger teeth). [dentagama.com]

It should not be confused with taurodontism (bull teeth), fusion (double tooth) or the jaws being relatively small, giving the appearance of macrodontia. [findwords.info]
Macrodontia should not be confused with other oral conditions such as taurodontism, fusion, or the jaws being relatively small, giving the appearance of macrodontia. [artsandculture.google.com]

In particular, macrodontia of premolars is extremely rare and may be confused with fusion or gemination of adjacent teeth to form a single tooth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
Endodontic treatment should be done with care so as to ensure better prognosis. 4. Conclusion As described earlier, such cases are extremely rare. [pubs.sciepub.com]
Prognosis[edit] Macrodontia is not a lethal disease, rather, it is a disorder which affects the physical appearance of the teeth and can have implications with the surrounding teeth, thereby affecting the overall positioning of the teeth, jaw pain, and [en.wikipedia.org]
Etiology
The etiology of this anomaly still remains in the grey [ 12 ], but suggested etiologies include disorders during the morpho-differentiation stage of development [ 13 ]. However, it was found to affect both sexes equally [ 14 ]. [pubs.sciepub.com]
However, the etiology of this rare combination deserves to be further explored. [bmcoralhealth.biomedcentral.com]

Epidemiology
Table 6 Prevalence of children with single and multiple hard dental tissue anomalies Discussion This study makes a unique contribution to the growing literature on the epidemiology of dental hard-tissue anomalies. [bmcoralhealth.biomedcentral.com]
This is because unless the patient gets treated, these caries will continue to develop and eventually result in continued degradation of the tooth and cause infections to surrounding teeth and gums.[3] Epidemiology[edit] Macrodontia is a very uncommon [en.wikipedia.org]
Pathophysiology
[…] growth.[3] In addition, factors during early childhood have been shown to play a significant role in the development of macrodontia; diet, exposure to toxins or radiation and other environmental factors increase the likelihood of macrodontia growth.[4] Pathophysiology [en.wikipedia.org]
