- These single-use capsules contain a specialized paste that serves as a faster, atraumatic alternative to traditional dental retraction cords
Uses
- Gingival Retraction:
- Used to open the sulcus and displace the gingival tissue prior to taking impressions for crowns, bridges, or veneers
- Hemostasis & Fluid Control:
- Specifically formulated to control bleeding and absorb crevicular fluid, saliva, and blood, ensuring a dry working field
- Digital & Traditional Impressions:
- Ideal for creating a clear field for both digital intraoral scanners (CAD/CAM) and traditional impression materials
- Restorative Procedures:
- Helpful during the seating of restorations, fitting rubber dams, and restoring Class II, III, and V cavities
Features
- 15% Aluminum Chloride:
- Contains hemostatic and astringent properties to stop bleeding instantly
- High Viscosity Paste:
- The kaolin clay-based material is rigid enough to mechanically open the sulcus while remaining gentle on tissue
- Unit Dose Capsules:
- Each capsule contains the exact amount (approx. 0.3g) needed for a single patient, reducing material waste and preventing cross-contamination
- Universal Compatibility:
- Can be used with most standard composite applicator guns
- Fast Protocol:
- Requires only 1 to 2 minutes of contact time in the sulcus before being rinsed away
Benefits
- Atraumatic Treatment:
- Unlike retraction cords, the paste exerts minimal pressure (37 times less than cord), which prevents damage to the epithelial attachment and reduces the risk of gingival recession
- Time Efficiency:
- Saves up to 5 minutes per tooth compared to traditional cord packing by combining retraction and hemostasis into one step
- Patient Comfort:
- Painless application that typically eliminates the need for additional local anesthesia
- Clean Margin Visualization:
- Rinses away easily with a gentle air-water spray, leaving no residue or film that could interfere with impression accuracy
