A while ago, 20-year-old Xiaolin accidentally tripped while running, lost a tooth, and hurriedly came to the Department of Stomatology of Shijiazhuang People's Hospital Fanxi Road to consult if there was a remedy. Fortunately, she was careful and kept the lost tooth, and sought medical attention as soon as possible, and the doctor "re-employed" the tooth through replantation technology!
He Yang, director of the Department of Stomatology (Fan Xi Road), said that in the outpatient clinic, there are often cases of accidental tooth loss caused by various reasons, especially the front teeth.
It is worth affirming that everyone seeks medical attention in time after losing their teeth, but many people ignore two key points:
1.Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
2.Come with teeth.
Some patients return to look for the missing tooth after understanding the situation, and miss the ** rescue time.
How many steps does it take to rescue a tooth? Don't look at the simple steps, there are a lot of things to pay attention to:
01Don't panic, find the missing tooth as soon as possible.
02 Pay attention to the "safe area" for tooth picking. Holding the crown is the white part that we usually see.
Do not touch the tooth root, so as not to damage the periodontal ligament on the surface of the tooth root, which is not conducive to subsequent restoration.
03 Rinse with running water for 5-10 seconds.
Do not scrape the surface of the tooth with your hands or sharp objects.
Do not use alcohol or soap to disinfect your teeth.
Do not wipe or leave to dry.
04 Try to keep it as moist as possible, you can soak the lost tooth in saline or milk, if there is no saline or milk, the easiest way is to hold it under the tongue.
Do not wrap your teeth in a tissue or cloth. Because the active material on the surface of the tooth root likes to stay in a humid environment, it is easy to die in a dry environment, which will affect the survival rate of replantation.
Be careful not to put your teeth in a bottle of mineral water, because in mineral or purified water, the active substances on the teeth will also die quickly.
05 Rush to the hospital as soon as possible. The shorter the time of out-of-body loss, the higher the success rate of reimplantation. Within 30 minutes, the probability of success is the largest, and the external root resorption after reimplantation is less than 10%; 30-90 minutes, external absorption of about 30%; If it is more than 90 minutes, the external absorption is greater than 90%, and if it is more than 2 hours, the probability of success is small.
If the tooth is completely lost due to an accident, as long as the root is intact and there is no crack, and the crown has preservation value, it can basically be replanted, especially for teenagers, with the greatest chance of success.
Loosening and loss caused by periodontitis and spontaneous loss of elderly teeth are not suitable for replantation.
Baby teeth lost due to accident are generally not recommended to be replanted, and the chance of survival is low, as long as the teeth are checked regularly every six months to ensure that the permanent teeth erupt normally.
