    RationaleRemoval of impacted supernumerary teeth requires precision and accuracy to prevent iatrogenic injury to important anatomical structures during dental surgery and to improve postoperative healing.Patient ConcernsA 12-year-old girl visited our department for the assessment and management of her deviated front teeth.DiagnosisImpacted supernumerary tooth extraction in the maxillary anterior region.InterventionsThe digital guide plate was fabricated after the integration of cone beam computed tomography data with that obtained from scanning the patient's dental model. Impacted supernumerary tooth extraction was performed.OutcomesThe use of the digital guide plate and planting instruments made the removal of the impacted supernumerary tooth less invasive, faster, and more accurate, whereas the wound was smaller, and the patient experience more comfortable.LessonsCombining the digital guide plate with planting instruments offers a useful aid for the removal of impacted supernumerary teeth among the maxillary anterior region and is, thus, worth promoting.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s).
