Studies related to the use of herbal medication for storage of avulsed tooth.

Herbal Material Characteristics References
Vaccinium macrocarpon, Punicia granatum, Psidium guajava, Prunus domestica and Camellia sinensis
  • These five herbal research media can be employed to transfer avulsed teeth effectively.

  • They have the potential to sustain viable cells even when the extra-alveolar duration is extended, with a viability loss of 24.7 per cent from 15 min to 3 h.

[81]
Propolis
  • The results were good for maintaining cell viability; however, root resorptions were observed, reducing its efficacy for this purpose.

[82]
Green tea extract
  • Green tea was found to be an excellent medium for limiting infections following tooth replantation, maintaining PDL cell viability, and lowering root resorption and ankylosis, with 90 per cent cell viability maintained for up to 24 h.

[83]
Morus rubra (red mulberry)
  • The ability of red mulberry to sustain the viability of PDL cells was improved when teeth were stored in it for up to 12 h.

[84]
Coconut water
  • The natural and sterile storage medium

  • Medium with good biological features and easy access that could be beneficial for its indication

[85]
Aloe vera
  • When compared to other experimental storage media, PDL cells were significantly maintained by the aloe Vera

  • Aloe Vera 10 percent, 30 percent, and 50 percent may be advised as an appropriate storage medium for avulsed teeth.

[86]
Rice water
  • After 30 min, rice water contains a large number of live periodontal ligament cells, indicating that the nutritional component of rice water has a favorable influence on the vitality of the cells.

[87]
Honey
  • The nutrients contained, including proteins, vital amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, may nourish and sustain the viability of PDL cells in honey milk with an extended shelf life.
