This case report of an 11-year-old subject shows the digital workflow for the management of an impacted mandibular canine using Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology along with Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs). The miniscrew inser- tion site was planned using software, and a surgical guide was digitally designed and 3D printed. Orthodontic traction was performed using a 3D-designed and -printed device. In a single sitting, the miniscrew was inserted and the disimpaction device was also delivered. The primary objective of recovery and the repositioning of the impacted mandibular canine in the axis with its eruptive path was achieved. The space available and the subject’s early stage of mixed dentition was consid- ered favourable to a spontaneous eruption. This case report shows how CAD/CAM digital technol- ogy, combined with 3D printing, enables the creation of a surgical guide to position the miniscrew and the customized devices used for mandibular canine disimpaction. CAD/CAM surgical guides can help clinicians to position TADs with more accuracy and predictability, ensuring high quality bone support offering primary stability. Although orthodontic traction is the most complex thera- peutic choice to implement, with the aid of CAD/CAM technology it is possible to proceed with accurate and minimally invasive orthodontic traction in order to recover a mandibular canine.
