Abstract
Cleidocranial dysostosis (CCD) is a congenital disability that may affect bones and teeth. It is a rare disease that can be caused by inheritance or a genetic mutation, irrespective of ethnic group. Treatment of CCD aims to achieve optimum function and aesthetic results, and improve the patient’s quality of life and self-confidence. In this case report, we present a nine-year-old male patient with CCD seeking treatment due to delayed eruption of teeth. Many other dental problems are also presented in this case, such as supernumerary teeth, retained deciduous teeth, malformed teeth, and multiple impacted permanent teeth. The patient underwent both surgical and orthodontic procedures. Early diagnosis of CCD leads tooptimum management, resulting in improvement of patient’s quality of life.
