Abstract. Cleidocranial dysplasia (CDD) is a genetic autosomal-dominant disorder. It is rare and little-known to general dental practitioners. The clinical manifestations are concentrated as a disturbance in the ossification in the craniofacial bone structures and the presence of retained teeth. The diagnosis of CDD is made on the basis of clinical symptoms, radiographic picture and genetic examination of the patient. The literature review unequivocally addresses the need for an interdisciplinary approach in addressing long surgical and orthodontic treatment. A case of a patient with CDD is described, and generally accepted approaches are confirmed in the long path of treatment, which must constantly strengthen the motivation of the patients and their parents.
Key words: cleidocranial dysplasia, diagnosis, surgical and orthodontic treatment
