Supernumerary Tooth Extraction (Surgical, CBCT Navigation)

How Supernumerary Tooth Extraction (Surgical, CBCT Navigation) is performed

This procedure is based on three-dimensional assessment using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). A surgical guide may be created or intraoperative navigation may be used if necessary. Anesthesia can be local anesthesia combined with sedation or general anesthesia. A common approach is to make an incision and flap in the mouth, precisely remove bone to expose the target tooth, separate it in segments as needed, and avoid key structures such as nerves and the maxillary sinus, gradually removing the tooth. Subsequently, irrigation and hemostasis are performed, soft tissues are repositioned and sutured. Early postoperative attention is paid to sensory changes, sinus-related symptoms, and swelling. The goal is to complete the removal while protecting surrounding tissues and creating space for subsequent treatment. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
