Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate if cryopreservation of teeth for long-term storage leads to cracks in enamel and dentin. STUDY DESIGN: Three teeth, which were extracted for orthodontic reasons, were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen (temperature -196 degrees C) and thawed according to standard protocols after 4 months. Micro computed tomography using synchrotron radiation was performed to detect cracks in the tooth hard tissues. RESULTS: Cracks were found in the enamel of all teeth, which are associated with forceps application during extraction. Cracks with a width larger than 0.8 mum were not identified in dentin and cementum. CONCLUSION: Although cryopreservation of teeth according to the standard protocol does not generate cracks more than 0.8 mum wide, the use of forceps can result in prominent cracks.
