| Macrodontia and microdontia are relatively common human craniofacial abnormalities, and macrodontia of premolars has frequently been described as molarized premolars. |
| Hypodontia, the congenital absence of one or more teeth, and microdontia, abnormal smallness of the teeth, are other features of largely genetic origin. |
| Neither the frequency of tooth agenesis nor microdontia differed between male and female patients. |
| Logistic regression was performed to further assess any mutually adjusted potential effects of gender and cleft type on tooth agenesis and microdontia and to examine potential confounding. |

| The variables assessed were tooth agenesis, microdontia, dental malformations, and cleft types. |
