Abstract: Objective: To investigate the early management for maxillary osseous impacted incisors with dentigerous cysts by using draining and guiding eruption method. Methods: Eight patients who had unilateral maxillary impacted incisor with dentigerous cyst in the early mixed dentition were selected. Eigth impacted teeth were treated with the draining and guiding eruption technique simultaneously after the cyst excision. All patients were taken CBCT scan examination at pre- and post-treatment time. The crown-root lengths of the impacted and the contralateral teeth were measured with Dolphin 11.0 software. Results: The average treatment duration was 6.7 months. After treatment, the crown-root lengths of both the impacted teeth and the contralateral teeth were greater than their pretreatment values. The crown-root lengths of impacted teeth were significantly shorter than that of the contralateral teeth (P<0.05). Conclusion: The draining and guiding eruption technique in the research provided a new safety and effective approach for the management of the impacted teeth with dentigerous cysts.
