Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to present a patient with cleidocranial dysostosis.
Materials and Methods: A 17 year-old male patient with cleidocranial dysostosis referred to Marmara University, Dentistry Faculty, Department of Oral Diagnosis and Radiology with complaints of oligodontia. In the extra-oral physical examination when the patient was asked to move his shoulders, he was capable of bringing closer the humeral heads, which characterized the hipermobility of the shoulders. In the intra-physical examination the atresia of the maxilla, ogival, deep palatum, and a mixed dentition were clear. In order to evaluate the impacted teeth in detail, dental volumetric tomography was taken. In order to confirm clinical and radiological diagnosis of cleidocranial dysostosis, the genetic analysis of the patient was performed. DNA from affected child and his mother was obtained from peripheral blood by using High PCR Template Preparation Kit.
Results: The first two exons of the gene were amplified by using primers. No mutation was found in two sequenced exons.
Conclusion: For patients with compromised esthetics, surgical treatment with orthodontic traction is a convenient and viable alternative. Our treatment plan consisted of periodontal and orthodontic treatments and further prosthodontic rehabilitation was planned in case of need.
