Abstract
An unusual case of cleidocranial dysplasia associated with more than 60 unerupted teeth is presented and examined with light and scanning electron microscopes and crystallographic techniques. The present case revealed pseudoprognathism with facial asymmetry, the right side being larger than the left. The extracted teeth showed enamel hypoplasia in light and scanning electron microscopy, yet the crystalline composition did not differ from that of the normal teeth. The potential causes of lack of eruption and supernumerary tooth formation in cleidocranial dysplasia are discussed.Entities:
