A short-cut review was carried out to establish whether avulsed teeth should be stored in milk to improve the chances of successful replantation. Eight studies were directly relevant to the question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results and study weaknesses of these studies are shown in table 1. The clinical bottom line is that storing avulsed teeth in milk or a dedicated storage medium does improve the successful replantation rate.
