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.

Compared to other types of microdontia i.e generalized microdontia, localized microdontia is a more common case.
