Abstract
Cleidocranial dysostosis (ccd) concerns both teeth and jaw and is characterized by supernumerary teeth, delayed resorption of deciduous teeth and delayed eruption of permanent teeth, tooth impaction and possible follicular cysts formation. A 26 years old patient with ccd received prosthetic treatment. Firstly, provisional removable prostheses were made for evaluation of the patient’s ability to adapt to the newly determined vertical dimension of occlusion and to stimulate the eruption of permanent teeth. Afterwards, telescopic crowns, coping with intraradicular retention
and Dalla Bona type stud attachment, and metal-base partial dentures were designed resulting in satisfactory function and esthetics, also resolving the problems of appearance associated with this disease.
