Abstract
More than 90% of the 2 million teeth avulsed each year in the United States can be saved if the proper treatment is instituted. Storage in a tooth-preserving medium can sustain the life of the tooth for 12 hours. An avulsed tooth that has dried out should be soaked in Hank's solution before replantation to reconstitute degenerated cells.
