The general physical and dental findings of cleidocranial dysostosis were described. The diagnosis and treatment of two patients have been presented. Each patient had the classic dental and oral abnormalities of this disorder. The first patient was treated by extracting all of the erupted teeth and making complete maxillary and mandibular dentures. The second patient was treated by retaining all teeth but one and constructing an overlay maxillary denture and a mandibular removable partial denture. Both methods were successful, dramatically improving the patients' function, appearance, and morale.
