Restoration of a Maxillary Anterior Defect With a Rotational Path Removable Partial Denture: Clinical Report of a...

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an uncommon genetic condition that affects teeth and bones, potentially leading to delayed ossification, dental abnormalities, and craniofacial changes, which can be treated through a combination of orthodontic and prosthodontic therapies. This case report describes the diagnostic evaluation, laboratory procedures, and prosthodontic treatment for a patient with CCD who had two missing maxillary anterior teeth. Following occlusal device therapy and the achievement of occlusal equilibration, restorative treatment was performed, consisting of a maxillary central incisor survey crown, rest seat preparations, and a lateral rotational path removable partial denture (RPD). The article highlights the value of this type of RPD as an alternative restoration for the replacement of missing anterior teeth.
