Abstract:

Objective To study the application of surgical locating guides based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technique on extraction of impacted super-numerary teeth. Methods This study included 15 patients with impacted supernumerary teeth in anterior maxillary. Surgical approach was determined by CBCT. Surgical locating guides of labial approach or palatal approach were designed and fabri-cated by CAD/CAM technique. Impacted supernumerary teeth were extracted under the location of surgical locating guides. Results Surgical locating guides were well attached in the operation. The impacted supernumerary teeth were located and exposed rapidly, and the adjacent important anatomical structures were avoided. Conclusion Surgical locating guides benefit the accurate detection and reduction of trauma in extraction of impacted supernumerary teeth.

Key words: computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing, surgical locating guide, supernumerary tooth
