Abstract: Embedded supernumerary teeth in the mental foramen area are rare in clinic. If the embedded supernumerary teeth in this area cause permanent tooth displacement or root resorption, affect orthodontics, form cysts, etc., they must be removed surgically. Extraction may lead to root injury of permanent tooth, pulp necrosis, mental nerve injury and other complications. This paper introduces a case of minimally invasive extraction of embedded supernumerary teeth in child's mental foramen area.

Key words: child, supernumerary teeth, mental foramen, mental nerve, minimally invasive extraction
