Abstract

Tooth avulsion or exarticulation is a traumatic injury of dental tissue characterised by complete displacement
of the tooth out of its socket. Successful treatment outcome is dependent on the survival of the viable
periodontal ligament cells attached to the tooth root surface. This review discusses various storage/ transport
media for avulsed tooth obtained from natural sources. The knowledge of availability and accessibility
of such natural storage media would increase the awareness among the healthcare providers and would
therefore improve the prognosis of the treatment protocol by reducing extra-oral dry time of the avulsed
tooth
