Abstract
Background: This case report discusses the management of a patient diagnosed with cleidocranial dysplasia. Methods: In terms of dental characteristics, cleidocranial dysplasia features supernumerary teeth, prolonged retention of the primary teeth, and late eruption of the permanent teeth. The patient was given interdisciplinary treatment combined with orthodontic and surgical procedures, as well as traction of seven permanent teeth. Results: At the end of treatment, both the occlusion and the facial appearance were improved. The 2-year post-treatment records showed stable results, with no new supernumerary teeth. Conclusions: To obtain an accurate treatment plan for patients with cleidocranial dysplasia, we recommend using cone-beam computed tomography to evaluate the supernumerary and impacted teeth, to observe the development of the permanent teeth, and to make the correct decision about which teeth to extract.
