    Abstract:
    Cryopreservation of teeth became possible since a better understanding of the cryoprotective mechanism of cosolvents such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The high number of extractions of healthy teeth performed for orthodontic reasons, i.a., gives a sufficient amount of donor teeth. The organization and quality control of a tissue bank for teeth tissues is legally regulated. This paper highlights some of the key-issues of these stipulations.
