    Microdontia and macrodontia refer to teeth that are smaller or larger than usual size. Microdontia most commonly affects maxillary lateral incisors and third molars, while macrodontia may occur across all teeth in cases of pituitary gigantism or pineal hyperplasia. The dental pulp is the soft tissue inside teeth containing blood vessels and nerves. It is surrounded by dentin, which is secreted by odontoblasts in the pulp and acts as a protective layer beneath enamel or cementum. Dentin is softer than enamel and more prone to decay without treatment.

    Abnormality in size

    Microdontia is a condition where teeth are smaller than the usual size, and macrodontia is
    where teeth are larger than the usual size. Microdontia of a single tooth is more likely to
    occur in a maxillary lateral incisor. The second most likely tooth to have microdontia are
    third molars. Macrodontia of all the teeth is known to occur in pituitary gigantism and
    pineal hyperplasia. It may also occur on one side of the face in cases of hemifacial
    hyperplasia.

    Contact North Hill Dental:The dental pulp is the central part of the tooth filled with soft
    connective tissue. This tissue contains blood vessels and nerves that enter the tooth from
    a hole at the apex of the root. Along the border between the dentin and the pulp are
    odontoblasts, which initiate the formation of dentin. Other cells in the pulp include
    fibroblasts, preodontoblasts, macrophages and T lymphocytes. The pulp is commonly
    called "the nerve" of the tooth.

    Dentin is the substance between enamel or cementum and the pulp chamber. It is secreted
    by the odontoblasts of the dental pulp. The formation of dentin is known as
    dentinogenesis. The porous, yellow-hued material is made up of 70% inorganic materials,
    20% organic materials, and 10% water by weight. Because it is softer than enamel, it
    decays more rapidly and is subject to severe cavities if not properly treated, but dentin
    still acts as a protective layer and supports the crown of the tooth.

    To become a specialist requires one to train in a residency or advanced graduate training


    program. Once residency is completed, the doctor is granted a certificate of specialty
    training. Many specialty programs have optional or required advanced degrees such as a
    masters degree: (MS, MSc, MDS, MSD, MDSc, MMSc, or MDent), doctoral degree:
    (DClinDent, DMSc, or PhD), or medical degree: (MD/MBBS specific to Maxillofacial
    Surgery and sometimes Oral Medicine).
    About North Hill Dental
    Dental anatomy is a field of anatomy dedicated to the study of tooth structures. The
    development, appearance, and classification of teeth fall within its field of study, though
    dental occlusion, or contact among teeth, does not. Dental anatomy is also a taxonomical
    science as it is concerned with the naming of teeth and their structures. This information
    serves a practical purpose for dentists, enabling them to easily identify teeth and
    structures during treatment.
