Retraction cords
This document discusses different methods for soft tissue management and gingival retraction during dental procedures. It covers the use of retraction cords made of 100% cotton to retract gingiva and achieve hemostasis when soaked in a solution. Various sizes of retraction cords are recommended for different areas of the mouth. Hemostatic agents like aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, and ferric sulfate can be used with the cords. Newer retraction cords are designed to eliminate issues like time consumption, patient discomfort, and epithelial attachment damage by maintaining rigidity in the sulcus without needing pressure for application.
