Dental Trauma and Treatments

By using a slow rate of cooling, successful storage of developing teeth has been performed in liquid nitrogen. Dye exclusion tests indicate that 78 ± 8% of cells remain viable and transplantation to isologous hosts demonstrates that 86% of the stored developing teeth commence to grow and produce normal dental hard and soft tissue elements. The length of storage at −196 °C, for periods up to 3 months, appears to have no detrimental effect upon subsequent survival and development of tooth germs.
