3M ESPE Retraction Capsules Pkt Of 25 Pc

Product Description

• Taking impressions (material-based or digital)
• Preparation of temporary casts
• Preparation of Class II and V fillings

• A great impression—even a digital impression—starts with controlling tissue and moisture. Our capsule’s extra-fine tip delivers hemostatic paste right into the sulcus to gently retract tissue and control bleeding.

• Unlike gingival retraction cords that can be difficult and time-consuming to place, the 3M retraction capsule is a fast, convenient and effective solution for gingival retraction. With its extra-fine tip, the 3M retraction capsule 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.

• Typically, the paste should be left in the sulcus for a minimum of 2 minutes to achieve good retraction results. If a hemostatic device is applied too long it may exert unwanted negative effects on the tissue health. Therefore, the hemostatic retraction paste must be rinsed off completely.
  

• The capsule must be taken out of the blister immediately prior to application. It should not be stored outside the blister.

• The content of one unit-dose capsule is sufficient to treat up to 3 teeth. The capsules are for single use and must not be used on more than one patient.

• The orientation ring corresponds in size and position to the perio probe. It is a feature for more precise and easy intraoral handling.

• Cords consist of small fibers that may be incorporated in the coagulum. When the cord is removed, the wound might be opened again. The paste is washed off by air-water spray and suction, resulting in a clean and dry sulcus area.

• The preparation margin should be clearly visible in the impression. The amount of excessive impression material (“flash”) that covers sulcular areas below the preparation margin is not important.

• As with all astringents, the 3M ESPE astringent retraction paste may inhibit the setting of A-silicones (VPS) and Polyethers. The paste must be completely rinsed off with air-water spray and suction prior to impression taking.
