Robot assisted extraction of impacted supernumerary teeth: report of 3 cases and literature review

doi:10.19438/j.cjoms.2026.03.018

Abstract

Abstract: Supernumerary teeth referred to teeth beyond the normal number of teeth in the dental arch, commonly found in the maxillary premolar area and often embedded in the jawbone. The treatment plan for supernumerary teeth was mostly direct extraction, but localization has always been a challenge. This study introduced three cases of robot assisted extraction of supernumerary teeth. The surgical process utilized a small incision and could be accurately located, achieving the effect of short operation time, mild swelling in postoperative patients, no complications, and satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Key words: Supernumerary teeth, Digital technology, Robot, Artificial intelligence
