Cleidocranial dysplasia(CCD) is a rare syndrome usually caused by an autosomal dominant gene or no
apparent genetic cause.
The skull is large and short with marked bossing of the frontal bone. Closure on the fontanelles and
sutures is delayed. The clavicle may be unilaterally or bilaterally aplastic. Oral manifestations include multiple
impacted permanent teeth, prolonged retention of primary teeth and multiple supernumerary teeth.
There are many difficulties in the early diagnosis of CCD because a majority of the craniofacial abnormalities
becomes obvious only during adolescence. Late diagnosis produce occlusional & psychological problem.
Therefore early detection and treatment of CCD can reduce the period and the extent of orthodontic
and surgical interventions.
We experienced CCD patient with multiple supernumerary teeth and will report it with the literature
review.
