Macrodontia (tooth)
Macrodontia is a type of localized gigantism in which teeth are larger than normal. Macrodontia seen in permanent teeth is thought to affect around 0.03 to 1.9 percent of the worldwide population. Generally, patients with macrodontia have one or two teeth in their mouth that is abnormally large; however, single tooth growth is seen in a number of cases as well. The three types of macrodontia are true generalized macrodontia, relative generalized macrodontia, and macrodontia of a single tooth. True generalized macrodontia is very rare while Macrodontia of a single tooth is much more commonly seen. Macrodontia should not be confused with other oral conditions such as taurodontism (bull teeth), fusion (double tooth), or the jaws being relatively small, giving the appearance of macrodontia. Patients sometimes also exhibit other co-morbidities associated with macrodontia such as enlarged pituitary glands and abnormal growth on one side of the face. Signs & Symptoms As is customary wi ...

Macrodontia (beetle)
''Macrodontia'' is an American genus of long-horned beetles remarkable for their large size and for the large mandibles of the males in particular. Taxonomy The genus ''Macrodontia'' Lepeletier, Audinet-Serville & Lacordaire, 1830 is in some documents credited to Latreille as the authority,Barsevskis A. et al (eds), Cerambycidae of the World, 2016 but this appears to be an error, possibly due to confusion arising from Latreille having been the authority for the subfamily Prioninae and the family Cerambycidae. It is a genus within the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Prioninae, tribe Macrodontiini. The following species are recognised in the genus ''Macrodontia'': *'' Macrodontia antonkozlovi'' Santos-Silva, 2016 *'' Macrodontia batesi'' Lameere, 1912 *'' Macrodontia castroi'' Marazzi, Pavesi & Marazzi, 2008 *''Macrodontia cervicornis'' (Linnaeus, 1758) *'' Macrodontia crenata'' (Olivier, 1795) *'' Macrodontia dejeanii'' Gory, 1839 *'' Macrodontia flavipennis'' Che ...
