  • Title: Cleidocranial dysplasia: radiological appearances on dental panoramic radiography.
    Author: McNamara CM, O'Riordan BC, Blake M, Sandy JR.
    Journal: Dentomaxillofac Radiol; 1999 Mar; 28(2):89-97. PubMed ID: 10522197.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To report the effectiveness of dental panoramic radiography in identifying features pathognomonic for cleidocranial dysplasia. METHODS: Panoramic radiographs of nine male Caucasian patients with cleidocranial dysplasia are analysed. RESULTS: In addition to the established dental complications of failure of eruption of the permanent dentition and multiple supernumerary teeth, morphological abnormalities of the maxilla and mandible, particularly in the ascending ramus and coronoid process were present. CONCLUSION: Dental panoramic radiography is a valuable adjunct in confirming the diagnosis of cleidocranial dysplasia.
