Cleidocranial dysplasia: Two unique cases

Abstract

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder aff ecting skeletal and dental tissues. The diagnosis of this syndrome is usually delayed, but the prognosis is good if appropriately managed. The involvement of facial bones, altered eruption patterns and presence of multiple supernumerary teeth warrants a clinical concern for dental health professionals. Due to complex nature of CCD a multidisciplinary approach is required for treatment. Early diagnosis is of utmost important to ensure better prognosis. We present two cases of CCD and a brief review.
