Gingival Tissue Retraction

Gingival tissue retraction is an important part of tissue management before making dental impressions for fixed prosthetics. There are three main methods of tissue retraction: 1) Mechanical, which uses things like rubber dams or copper bands, 2) Mechanical-chemical, which uses retraction cords impregnated with solutions like epinephrine or ferric sulfate, and 3) Surgical, which involves minor surgery or electrosurgery. The goal is to displace the gingival tissue sufficiently to reproduce the finish lines of the restoration on the dental model. Care must be taken to minimize trauma and bleeding during retraction.

GINGIVAL TISSUE RETRACTION

By: Naghman Zuberi

Why?

Gingival tissue Retraction is an Integral Part of Tissue management Prior to Impression Registering for Fixed Prosthesis. The finish lines should completely be reproduced over the models and dies in order to have a marginal accuracy of the restoration

Naghman Zuberi

There are various methods of Tissue Retraction and management in dentistry: 1. Mechanical 2. Mechanical- Chemical 3. Surgical

Mechanical Methods

Rubber Dam (Oldest Method of Displacing the Gingival Tissue) Copper band and Tube Method (Used in Single Tooth Impression Technique. Mostly Used with Impression Compound Type II Brown Sticks). Cords Strings or Unwaxed Floss

Copper Ring Impression Technique

Mechanical- Chemical Method

Cords Impregnated in Retraction Solutions:

Epinephrine Al Cl Sol 15% and 25% Ferric Sulphate 13.3% Zn Cl Sol 8% and 40% Tannic Acid 20% to 40%
