	'''Microdontia''' is a condition in which one or more teeth appear smaller than normal. This can occur in both primary (baby) and permanent (adult) teeth. The condition can affect a single tooth (isolated microdontia), all teeth (generalized microdontia), or a group of teeth (relative generalized microdontia).

	Microdontia can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic conditions, environmental factors, and certain medications.

Certain medications, such as those used to treat epilepsy or cancer, can also cause microdontia if taken during pregnancy.
