The best transport medium for evulsed tooth is:
- Tap water.
- HBSS (Hank's balanced salt solution).***
- Saliva.
- Milk.
What is balanced salt solution used for?
A balanced salt solution's essential function is to maintain pH and osmotic balance as well as provide your cells with water and essential inorganic ions.
What is Hank's solution used for?
Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) is composed of inorganic salts and supplemented with glucose. The solution may be used to wash cells and tissue and to maintain cells in a viable state. The solution is buffered with phosphate and maintains a physiological pH and osmotic pressure.
Is saline or milk better for avulsed tooth?
Based on these results, it is recommended that when an avulsed tooth cannot be reimplanted immediately, it should be placed in milk and brought to the dentist for reimplantation.
What storage media for extracted teeth?
All extracted teeth should be stored in a well-constructed container, such as a glass jar, with a secure lid to prevent leaking during transport and labeled with a biohazard symbol.
What medium is used for avulsed teeth?
Propolis may be the optimal media for storing avulsed teeth before replantation. However, given the availability of propolis and HBSS and the hypotonic properties of saline, ORS or milk should also be preferentially selected.
Which material is used to restore a tooth?
Amalgam remains the gold standard for durable restorations, although resin composites have shown reasonably long survival rates. Many direct restorative materials are also used as cavity liners and bases, and as pit-and-fissure preventive sealants.
What is the best root surface treatment for avulsed teeth?
The ideal treatment for an avulsed tooth is its immediate replantation into the socket, which significantly improves the prognosis.
What is the solution for avulsed teeth?
An avulsed tooth happens when you lose your tooth due to accidents or injuries. You can first treat a knocked out tooth yourself by reinserting your tooth. Otherwise, you should preserve your tooth in milk, salt solution, saliva or saline until you can get to your dentist.
Which of the following should not be used as storage media for avulsed tooth?
Tap water: Use of tap water to store avulsed teeth is not recommended as it is not compatible with PDL cells because of its hypotonic osmolarity which causes cell lysis, and is reported to causes replacement resorption in avulsed teeth when they are place in it.
