Fixed Prosthodontic Rehabilitation of a Patient with Cleidocranial Dysplasia: A Case Report

Introduction Cleidocranial Dysplasia (CCD) is a rare congenital disease characterized by skeletal and dental anomalies. Clinical findings of CCD patients include low facial height, pseudoprognathism, unerupted teeth, an excessive deep bite, chewing difficulties, and unsatisfied dentofacial appearance. These patients’ dental treatments present a substantial challenge. Case Representation This case report describes the prosthodontic treatment of a 29-year-old male CCD patient using porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations. The avoidance of a surgical procedure serves to minimize the potential for complications and expedites the attainment of outcomes with greater celerity. Throughout the follow-up period of 1 year, the patient maintained good periodontal health. The restoration of masticatory function and enhancement of facial esthetics were successfully achieved and the patient expressed a high degree of satisfaction with the outcome of the treatment. Conclusion The use of fixed prostheses in CCD patients is a treatment modality that resolves many of the issues caused by the surgical approach.
