Abstract

This document describes an alternative gingival retraction paste system that can be used instead of traditional retraction cords. The paste requires little pressure to apply, greatly minimizing the risk of trauma compared to cords. It is extruded directly into the sulcus, creating space like a cord. Bleeding and seepage are controlled by the astringent aluminum chloride in the paste, which shrinks tissues and further expands the sulcus. The paste proves to be a simple, safe, atraumatic, and less time-consuming method for gingival retraction compared to cords.
