Popis: Tissue culture media and their application to the storage of teeth are described. The problems of contamination in culture and a method of achieving a sterility level of 73 percent are discussed. Contamination was reduced at each stage, using unerupted teeth, chlorhexidine disinfection, saline irrigation, ultrasonics, a laminar-flow cabinet, and four antibiotics in culture. A method of microbiologic screening is outlined.
