Astringent Retraction Paste

25/package

Unlike gingival retraction cords that can be difficult and time-consuming to place, the 3M Astringent Retraction Paste is a fast, convenient and effective solution for gingival retraction.
With its extra-fine tip, the 3M Astringent Retraction Paste delivers a 15% aluminum chloride astringent paste right into the sulcus, pushing the gingival tissue away from the tooth and allowing you to capture a detailed impression of the preparation margin.
3M™ Astringent Retraction Paste is indicated for the temporary tissue retraction of the marginal gingiva to provide a dry sulcus when the periodontium is healthy, such as:
Taking impressions (material-based or digital)
Preparation of temporary casts
Preparation of Class II and V fillings
The content of one unit-dose capsule is sufficient to treat up to three (3) teeth. The capsules are for single use and must not be used on more than one patient.
No dedicated dispenser needed. The unit-dose capsule fits most composite dispensers.
