title: Cleidocranial dysplasia: radiological appearances on dental panoramic radiography.
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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Dental panoramic radiography is a valuable adjunct in confirming the diagnosis of cleidocranial dysplasia.
