Dental Education & Market Use
Gingival retraction cords are used to temporarily displace the gingival margin and expose the cervical finish line of a prepared tooth. This can improve access for impression materials, scanning, restorative materials and margin evaluation.
Impregnated cords may additionally assist with localized sulcular fluid or bleeding control depending on their active ingredient. Selection and placement should consider periodontal tissue condition, cord size, impregnation agent and the manufacturer's instructions.
