Abstract

This case series describes conservative orthodontic and multidisciplinary approaches for treating two patients diagnosed with cleidocranial dysplasia in late adolescence and young adulthood. Most of the impacted permanent teeth erupted spontaneously within 3 to 4 years after surgical extraction of the deciduous and supernumerary teeth. The remaining unerupted permanent teeth were facilitated with traction or extracted followed by implantation or restoration. Repositioning of the maxilla and mandible via orthognathic surgery was also applied to correct skeletal and occlusal discrepancies and lead to satisfying results.

Keywords: Adolescence; Cleidocranial dysplasia; Implantation; Unerupted permanent teeth.
