title: Is there a relationship between increased tooth number and increased tooth size? A case report.
abstract: A unifying theory has been proposed that links anomalies of tooth size and number. Application of this theory suggests that anomalies of tooth size and number may share a common aetiology but could also be predicted. This article highlights an association between macrodontia and hyperdontia as demonstrated by two clinical cases. These cases demonstrate a localized association and effect on the dentition and highlight the possible predictive application of this theory.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Clinicians should be made aware of the possibility of supernumeraries associated with macrodont teeth.
