Application of 3-D Imaging in a Familial Case of Cleidocranial Dysplasia

Abstract

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare inherited disorder affecting dental and skeletal tissues. CCD usually has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance and common clinical features seen are aplastic or hypoplastic clavicles, late closure of fontanelle, open skull sutures, retained deciduous teeth, late eruption of permanent teeth and presence of multiple impacted supernumerary teeth. Here, we present a case of CCD in a female patient with positive family history. The diagnosis was confirmed clinically and radiographically. The newer radiographic advancement, CBCT was used to validate the radiographic findings.
