Agua de coco envasado (a de coco ®) y sales rehidratantes (hidraplus 75®) una alternativa como medio de transporte para mantener la viabilidad de las células en el ligamento periodontal

Abstract

Dental avulsion is considered one of the most serious injuries that dental organs can suffer as it causes damage to several structures of the alveolus resulting in the complete displacement of the tooth to the outside. The success in the management of the avulsed tooth depends mainly on the extraoral time and the preservation medium, for this reason, it is important to have adequate storage means to maintain the viability of the cells of the periodontal ligament. Objective: determine the capacity of bottled coconut water and rehydration salts in the preservation of periodontal ligament cells in a period of 2, 6 and 24 hours. Methodology: an in vitro experimental study was carried out with a sample of 60 extracted premolar teeth for orthodontic purposes which were taken to two storage media coconut water and rehydration salts Results: the coconut water preserved 15.07% of cells while the hydrating salts a 23.83% for which the moisturizing salts presented a greater capacity of preservation of living cells than the coconut water Conclusions: The rehydration salts preserved the viability of the cells of the ligament in a similar proportion to the coconut water in the periods of 2 and 6 hours. After 24 hours, the rehydration salts showed greater preservation compared to coconut water.
