Cleidocranial dysplasia is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by skeletal and dental anomalies, often enabling early recognition by dental practitioners. A 14-year-old Moroccan girl presented to the Pediatric Dentistry Department of Ibn Rochd University Hospital with aesthetic concerns. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed multiple general, craniofacial, and dental abnormalities that suggested an underlying syndrome. Further investigations supported the diagnosis of cleidocranial dysplasia. The patient received appropriate dental care and was referred to the genetics department for specialized follow-up, along with a detailed report summarizing the oro-dental findings. This case highlights the essential role of pediatric dentists in identifying syndromic patterns and recognizing rare diseases when multiple anomalies coexist.
