Cleidocranial dysplasia: a review of the dental, historical, and practical implications with an overview of the South African experience
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an uncommon but well-known genetic skeletal condition. Several hundred affected
persons are members of a large extended family in the Cape Town Mixed Ancestry community of South Africa. The clinical
manifestations are often innocuous, but hyperdontia and other developmental abnormalities of the teeth are a major feature
and may require special dental management.
Over the past 40 years, the authors have encountered more than 100 affected persons in Cape Town. Emphasis has
been on dental management, but medical, genetic, and social problems have also been addressed. In this article, we have
reviewed the manifestations of the disorder in the light of our own experience, and performed a literature search with
emphasis on the various approaches to dental management and treatment options in CCD. Advances in the understanding of
the biomolecular pathogenesis of CCD are outlined and the international and local history of the disorder is documented.Web of Scienc
Advantages of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the orthodontic treatment planning of cleidocranial dysplasia patients: a case report
Our aim was to discuss, by presenting a case, the possibilities connected to the use of a CBCT exam in the dental evaluation of patients with Cleidocranial Dysplasia (CCD), an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia with delayed exfoliation of deciduous and eruption of permanent teeth and multiple supernumeraries, often impacted. We think that CBCT in this patient was adequate to accurately evaluate impacted teeth position and anatomy, resulting thus useful both in the diagnostic process and in the treatment planning, with an important reduction in the radiation dose absorbed by the patient
Photographic protocol for image acquisition in craniofacial microsomia
Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is a congenital condition associated with orbital, mandibular, ear, nerve, and soft tissue anomalies. We present a standardized, two-dimensional, digital photographic protocol designed to capture the common craniofacial features associated with CFM
