| Abstract: | Vitality of die periodontal ligament (PDL) is necessary for a successful healing after replantation of exarticulated teeth. In the present investigation newly extracted teeth from monkeys were stored in saline, milk or saliva for 1–3 h. Freeze sections were made and the vitality of the PDL was determined histochemically. Milk seemed to provide better storage conditions than saliva or saline. |
