An anaphylactic replantation: milk allergy, tooth avulsion and appropriate storage media

Abstract

Cow's milk is considered one of the gold standard storage media for avulsed teeth, and it is readily available. However, with the high prevalence of allergy to this milk, there is a potential danger of anaphylaxis when used as a storage medium. Its use and that of alternative storage media is discussed. CPD/Clinical Relevance: There is a potential for anaphylaxis when cow's milk is used as a storage medium for an avulsed tooth.
