Microdontia Market Scenario

The microdontia market is anticipated to reach USD 2,925 Million by 2030 at 7.30% CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2030.Microdontia is a condition or state in which teeth appear smaller than normal.

True generalized microdontia is extremely rare and affects any teeth and tends to occur in people who have pituitary dwarfism. Relative generalized microdontia is the type of microdontia in which all teeth appear in normal size but look smaller than the enlarged jaws and this type of microdontia can be cause due to genetically-passed large jaws from one parent and normal teeth size from the other. Localized microdontia is the type of microdontia in which a tooth is smaller than other teeth with normal size. Compared to other types of microdontia i.e generalized microdontia, localized microdontia is a more common case.
