Storage Media for Avulsed Teeth: A Review.
J Pak Dent Assoc Jan ;23(2):54-60.

Dental avulsion is a common type of trauma that results in the complete displacement of tooth from the alveolar socket. Although the ideal treatment would be the immediate re-implantation of the tooth at the site where the trauma took place, this may not be practically possible in every case. Hence, the avulsed tooth may have to be placed in an appropriate storage or transport medium until it is re-implanted. The biological properties of the storage medium have significant impact on the success of re-implantation, as it must be capable of preserving the vitality, clonogenic and mitogenic ability of the PDL cells for successful re-implantation.
