摘要：A method and apparatus are disclosed for saving an exarticulated tooth. Thetooth is grasped by its crown, so as not to harm the periodontal membrane. In oneembodiment, the tooth is placed in a net which is attached to a basket. The net andbasket are immersed in a modified saline solution which preserves the cells of theperiodontal membrane. The solution is held in a container which accommodates the netand basket. The container is closed, and the tooth and patient are taken to a dentist. Thedentist removes the lid of the container, and lays the lid on a table or other surface, sothat the sponge faces upward. The dentist then lifts the basket, with the tooth, out of thesolution, and inverts the net so that the tooth falls out onto the sponge. The dentist thengrasps the tooth with a forceps and reimplants it in the patient's mouth. In otherembodiments, the net is omitted, and is replaced by padding in the container whichprotecgts the tooth. In still another embodiment, there is a net but no basket, and thenet remains within the container. In another embodiment, the solution is stored in a bagwhich is held within the container lid. A knife edge punctures the bag when the lid isunscrewed. In yet another embodiment, the tooth is stored in a pouch of water-impermeable material and removed immediately before reimplantation.
