  • Reimplantation of an Avulsed Tooth After Five Hours Of
    http://crim.sciedupress.com Case Reports in Internal Medicine 2017, Vol. 4, No. 4 CASE REPORTS Reimplantation of an avulsed tooth after five hours of storage in milk: One-year follow-up case report Pelin Tufenkci∗1, Fatma Canbolat2, Berkan Celikten2, Semra Sevimay2 1Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Mustafa Kemal, Hatay, Turkey 2Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Ankara, Ankara, Turkey Received: September 13, 2017 Accepted: November 6, 2017 Online Published: November 14, 2017 DOI: 10.5430/crim.v4n4p48 URL: https://doi.org/10.5430/crim.v4n4p48 ABSTRACT Dental avulsion is the complete displacement of a tooth from the alveolar socket due to trauma. Reimplantation is the procedure by which an avulsed tooth is replaced. The prognosis of reimplantation depends on several factors, the most important of which are the length of time that elapses between the trauma and reimplantation and how the tooth is stored. The most preferable management procedure for an avulsion is immediate reimplantation within 20-30 min after injury or preservation in an appropriate storage medium until the procedure. If the tooth cannot be immediately replanted, it should be stored in Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution, milk, saliva, or saline solution. Milk is readily available and can protect periodontal ligament cells. In this case report, a 30-year-old male patient suffered a sports injury that resulted in avulsion of the right maxillary incisor. The avulsed tooth was stored in milk for 5 h from avulsion until reimplantation. This case report details reimplantation of an avulsed tooth. Key Words: Avulsion, Dental injury, Delayed reimplantation 1.I NTRODUCTION time, the incidence of attachment damage, pulp necrosis, and small localized cemental damage increases, which can lead Sports, auto, and bicycle accidents and violent trauma can to eventual external and internal root resorption.[3–5] Pre- lead to dental injuries that cause cosmetic and functional vious studies have shown that reimplantation within 20-30 deficits.

  • The Explorer
    Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC THE EXPLORER Journal of USC Student Research VOLUME 9 | APRIL 2017 THE EXPLORER Journal of USC Student Research Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC From the Dean Dear students and colleagues, Every year, it is with great excitement that I await the arrival of Research Day, which, as many of you know, is one of USC’s only days devoted exclusively to students’ scientific inquiry. It gives me such satisfaction to see the curiosity and excitement on the faces of faculty and students as they talk about the results of their re- search. I especially enjoy seeing colleagues sharing their newfound knowledge with each other, allowing one great idea to spark another to spark another, which is precisely how scientific revolutions get their start. I can always count on learning something new each year, and I hope, after today, you can say the same. As part of a research-intensive university, we at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC take scientific inquiry and discovery very seriously. As many of you might know, Ostrow has consistently been the top-fund- ed private dental school since 2012 by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research. There’s perhaps no greater compliment than to have this national organization, which aims to improve oral, dental and craniofacial health through research, believe so strongly in the work that our researchers do every day. This commitment to research doesn’t stop with dentistry. Our colleagues at both the USC Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy and the USC Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Ther- apy, who join us here today, are also among the top thought leaders of their professions, regularly publishing high-impact journal articles that push their fields into ever-exciting directions.
