Cleidocranial dysostosis is a generalized skeletal dysplastic condition and primarily affects the development of the bones and teeth. The genetic etiology lies on chromosome number 6p21, core binding factor (CBFA1). This paper explains the treatment procedure carried out for a sixteen year old female patient diagnosed with cleidocranial dysostosis. Therapy includes surgical removal or exposure of impacted teeth, extraction of supernumerary teeth along with orthodontic treatment.
Key words: Cledio-cranial dysplasia, supernumerary teeth, diagnosis
