Abstract

Impacted central incisors are a clinical dilemma faced by orthodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, paediatric and restorative dentists. Successful management requires a robust diagnosis and treatment planning process. This case report highlights the use of 3D printing to aid the treatment planning of a patient with bilateral unerupted maxillary central incisors due to two supernumerary teeth acting as a physical obstruction. The preoperative cone beam computed tomography scan allowed for production of the printed model to the exact size and dimensions of the unerupted teeth and supernumeraries to facilitate the planning of the case and to aid in consenting the patient for treatment.
