AI Article Synopsis
- The extraction of impacted supernumerary teeth requires careful precision to avoid injury to surrounding anatomical structures and to enhance healing.
- A 12-year-old girl presented with issues related to her misaligned front teeth, leading to the diagnosis of an impacted supernumerary tooth needing removal.
- Using a digital guide plate created from advanced imaging techniques made the surgical procedure more efficient and less invasive, leading to a better overall experience for the patient.
Article Abstract
Rationale: Removal of impacted supernumerary teeth requires precision and accuracy to prevent iatrogenic injury to important anatomical structures during dental surgery and to improve postoperative healing.
Patient Concerns: A 12-year-old girl visited our department for the assessment and management of her deviated front teeth.
Diagnosis: Impacted supernumerary tooth extraction in the maxillary anterior region.
Interventions: The digital guide plate was fabricated after the integration of cone beam computed tomography data with that obtained from scanning the patient's dental model. Impacted supernumerary tooth extraction was performed.
Outcomes: The use of the digital guide plate and planting instruments made the removal of the impacted supernumerary tooth less invasive, faster, and more accurate, whereas the wound was smaller, and the patient experience more comfortable.
Lessons: Combining the digital guide plate with planting instruments offers a useful aid for the removal of impacted supernumerary teeth among the maxillary anterior region and is, thus, worth promoting.
