Resumo (PT): A disostose cleidocraniana é uma síndrome genética rara, autossómica dominante. Neste caso particular, os muitos desafios dos tratamentos foram resolvidos por uma equipe odontológica, cujo traccionamento ortodôntico de dentes inclusos associados com a cirurgia ortognática bimaxilar foi o principal foco. O objectivo deste tratamento ortodôntico-cirúrgico foi restaurar a oclusão funcional e melhorar a estética facial, aproveitando a vantagem de todos os dentes impactados que caracterizam esta síndrome.

Abstract (EN): Cleidocranial dysostosis (CCD) is a rare genetic syndrome, autosomal dominant. In this paper a patient with cleidocranial dysostosis was treated under a multidisciplinary basis. Many treatment challenges were solved by a dental team, in which the orthodontic traction of unerupted teeth associated with bimaxilar surgery had the main focus. The aim of this surgical-orthodontic treatment was to restore the functional occlusion and to improve the facial aesthetics, taking advantage of all the impacted teeth which characterize this syndrome.
