Storage Media for Avulsed Teeth: An Overview
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Avulsion or ex-articulation is a type of traumatic dental injury in which there is complete displacement of the tooth from its alveolar socket. The treatment option for this type of injury is reimplantation i.e. reinserting the tooth in its socket. The success of reimplantation depends on 2 factors: extra alveolar dry time (EODT) and vitality of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells attached to the tooth. The vitality of PDL cells further depends on the type of storage media used while transporting the avulsed tooth from the site of avulsion injury to the dentist. The ideal storage medium should be capable of preserving the viability of PDL cells so that cells can undergo mitosis and form clones of fibroblasts. The pH and osmolality of storage medium must be physiologic. The present article reviews various storage media from simple readily available ones to the ones that are commercially available along with the ongoing research in this field.
