Diagnosis and Management of Cleidocranial dysplasia: A case Report.

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an uncommon hereditary condition characterized by a range of skeletal and dental irregularities, primarily caused by mutations in the RUNX2 gene. This case report details a 19-year-old female patient who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with complaints of multiple supernumerary teeth and retained deciduous teeth. The patient exhibited several hallmark features of CCD, including frontal bossing, an underdeveloped maxilla, a concave head shape, a flattened malar region, short stature with a bell-shaped chest, and sloping shoulders. The clinical presentation and treatment plan, which involved a phased approach combining surgical and orthodontic procedures, are discussed. Virtual surgical planning played a critical role in Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SARPE). The positive outcome of this case emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary strategy in treating CCD and suggests the need for further exploration into standardized treatment protocols for this rare disorder.
