Complete loss or exarticulation of tooth out of the socket resulting from trauma and mutilation of periodontal ligament. Immediate reimplantation is the most preferred treatment but is not always practically possible. So, the only option is to have interim storage media to transport the avulsed tooth in least possible time for the best possible outcome. Ideal medium is expected to have pH and osmolality conducive to retain viability of periodontal cells during the extra-alveolar time period. This review focuses on all the available storage mediums and also the medium which are newly proposed and needs further research.
Avulsion, Interim Storage Media, Emdogain
