PubMed 31328384 ↗Conclusion: Natural products are more effective in maintaining the PDL cell viability compared to synthetic products. Some storage media recommendations were also based upon practical aspects. Although natural products other than milk have more recommendations as a group, milk is the most recommended storage medium individually, based not only on PDL cell viability, but also practical considerations.
PubMed 29292570 ↗Conclusion: 10% Propolis demonstrated superior effectiveness in preserving PDL cell viability compared to other storage media. Based on these findings, propolis can be considered a preferable alternative for preserving the sustainability of PDL cells in avulsed teeth.
PubMed 41114008 ↗Conclusion: Consuming skim or low-fat cow's milk without additional food intake as compared with water appears to improve volume/hydration status in people with exercise-induced dehydration. However, evidence is of very low certainty and should be interpreted with caution.
