Abstract
Background
Many storage mediums are available for the storage of avulsed teeth to preserve the viability of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells before replantation; however, it is unclear which medium is the optimal option.
Aim
This systematic review and meta-analysis (MA) aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various storage media in preserving the viability of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells, using Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) as a reference standard for comparison.
Review method
This systematic review was performed according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) guidelines. The database including Medline (via. PUBMED), Scopus, The Cochrane Controlled Clinical trials Register, Google scholar were thoroughly searched from 2014 to 2024. The reference articles which have been retrived were exported to Mendeley Desktop software 1.13.3.43.
Result
HBSS medium did not show significant difference in cell viability when compared with placentrix (Mean difference: 0.56, 95 % CI(-5.64,-0.04), p = 0.05, I2 = 96 %), whereas aloevera showed superior cell viability compared to HBSS. Conclusion: This systematic review and MA suggests that placentrex and aloevera could represent an alternative to HBSS. However, more studies are necessary to obtain a reliable conclusion.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
