Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / March 2004Storing teeth for dental school
What's the best way to store extracted teeth WITHOUT damaging the integrity of them? My school recommended 10% bleach, but I've heard that will make the teeth useless for Endo practice... I'd like to avoid formaldehyde if possible. I vote for bleach and never let them dry out. For endo, make sure the teeth come from a rather young persons as opposed to old codgers. The Old Codger's pulps are receeded and resist nice endo! JOEL Ditto for curmudgeons! >What's the best way to store extracted teeth WITHOUT damaging the >integrity of them?

But save the Old Coot's teeth for practicing difficult Endos in 3rd and 4th year. If I had done that I'd be doing one appt. Endos now.

Of course we also used zephirin Cl, which is a pretty crummy antiseptic. Steve |
