Abstract: Objective: To investigate the clinical significance of individual plate in the treatment of supernumerary teeth using digital technology. Methods: According to patient's CT data, personalized plate was designed and printed which used software Mimics 19.0 (Materialise, Belgium) combined with Geomagic studio 2014 (Geomagic Inc., America), then surgery was performed with locating of plate. Results: All patients were completed surgery successfully, which reduced the injury of extra bone tissue effectively during the operation. There were no injuries of adjacent teeth root, nerves and vessels. The patients felt good postoperative. Conclusion: The digital guide technology could preoperatively design the location, orientation, and depth accurately, which provided precise positioning in patients’ mouth. In this way it could minimize the damage of impacted supernumerary teeth extraction and surrounding bone tissue in accordance with the alveolar surgery concept of precision and minimally invasive surgery.
