Online published on 13 November, 2019. Abstract Background The displacement of tooth completely from its socket, in the alveolar bone following trauma is known as Avulsion. It leads to periodontal damage and pulp necrosis. The consequences of tooth avulsion are less if the remaining viable periodontal ligament (PDL) does not get dehydrated. Various types of storage medium have been mentioned in literature and reviews. An acceptable storage medium should possess certain properties to enable its use in the clinical scenario. An appropriate storage media keeps the PDL cells in hydrated form, thus preserving the vitality of PDL fibroblasts in situations where an immediate replantation is not possible. The current review highlights the histological changes and the management of avulsion. Top Keywords Avulsion, traumatic injury, Storage media. Top |
