Management of cleidocranial d ysplasia I—t reatment of an a dolescent patient

CASE STORY

A 17-year-old male patient presents with a chief complaint of “I don’t like the way my teeth look, and I would like to have a nice smile.” The patient is accompanied by his mother (see Case 37) and has been diagnosed with cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD). The patient has received only palliative and emergency care for his dental condition and no formal management plan has been pursued for the treatment of CCD.

Clinical Decision-Making Determining Factors

  • Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal dominant condition that is genetically inherited. The patient presented here has inherited this condition from his mother (see Case 37). The genetic condition affects bone growth, often causing aplasia (defective development) or hypoplasia (incomplete or underdevelopment) of bones undergoing intramembranous ossification. The general appearance of a person presenting with CCD is typically frontal, parietal, and occipital bossing; underdevelopment of the maxilla; and a brachycephalic appearance of the skull. The clavicles are among the bones commonly affected by this condition (Gonzalez Lopez, Ortiz Solalinde et al. 2004; Angle and Rebellato 2005; Bratu 2005),
  • Dental findings in patients with CCD may include class III jaw relationship, underdeveloped maxilla, overretention of deciduous teeth, failure or delayed eruption of permanent teeth, multiple supernumerary teeth, and cyst formation. Because dental complications have a direct effect on the patient’s quality of life, CCD patients are often in extensive dental treatment that includes multiple disciplines (Golan, Baumert et al. 2004; Angle />
