Macrodontia is a rare dental anomaly, and isolated macrodontia is even more infrequent. The aim of this article is to report on a young male patient with macrodontia of the mandibular premolars.
We herein present a case report of a young male patient receiving pharmacological growth hormone therapy for 10 years, who was diagnosed with macrodontia of the mandibular premolars. The patient underwent surgical treatment at the School of Dentistry of the University of Buenos Aires and was followed-up for more than 3 years.
Macrodontia is a rare condition. Early diagnosis and treatment of this anomaly favors adequate formation of the dental arches. In the light of this case report, a review of paediatric patients who received growth hormone therapy during the tooth formation stage would seem relevant.
巨牙症是一种罕见的牙齿异常，孤立性巨牙症更为罕见。本文旨在报告一例下颌前磨牙巨牙症的年轻男性患者。
我们在此报告一例年轻男性患者，因接受生长激素治疗 10 年而被诊断为下颌前磨牙巨牙症。该患者在布宜诺斯艾利斯大学牙科学院接受了手术治疗，并进行了超过 3 年的随访。
巨牙症是一种罕见病症。早期诊断和治疗这种异常有利于牙弓的正常形成。根据本病例报告，对在牙齿形成阶段接受生长激素治疗的儿科患者进行回顾似乎是相关的。
