Macrodontia is an uncommon dental anomaly that can present in both primary and permanent dentition. It has often been reported to occur concomitantly with other dental anomalies and has also been an established clinical characteristic of numerous systemic conditions and syndromes. The following case reports illustrate the challenges of managing macrodont teeth in view of the various treatment options available, as well as the multiple factors that tend to influence each case individually. This article highlights the importance of early referral and a multidisciplinary approach to treating patients with dental anomalies.
