    Gingival Tissue Retraction

    Uploaded by

    Naghman Zuberi
    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

    Naghman Zuberi

    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

    Naghman Zuberi

    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%
