Abstract:
Odontomas can cause impaction of permanent teeth. During the removal of odontomas associated with an impacted tooth, minimally-invasive surgical approaches are necessary. We present a technical note highlighting easy extraction of a deeply impacted odontoma using a patient-specific computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) surgical guide. Its use and advantages are described.
