Navigation-guided Extraction of Impacted Supernumerary Teeth: A Case Report

Summary Supernumerary teeth usually result in retarded eruption, malocclusion, poor esthetics, and cyst formation. Management involves surgical extraction, which can be challenging in certain complicated cases owing to the risk of injury to young permanent tooth germs or fragile roots. The present r...

Summary:Summary Supernumerary teeth usually result in retarded eruption, malocclusion, poor esthetics, and cyst formation. Management involves surgical extraction, which can be challenging in certain complicated cases owing to the risk of injury to young permanent tooth germs or fragile roots. The present report describes a novel preoperative computer-assisted, intraoperative, navigation-guided surgical treatment for a case of complicated impacted supernumerary teeth. The report highlights accurate tooth location and minimal invasion with use of the navigation-guided system. Moreover, it discusses various treatment considerations during such a procedure.
