Retract tissues gently.

3M™ Astringent Retraction Paste

Retract tissues gently.

3M™ Astringent Retraction Paste is a fast, convenient and effective solution for gingival retraction, offering an advantage over gingival retraction cords that can be difficult and time-consuming to place. The extra-fine tip delivers a 15% aluminum chloride astringent paste right into the sulcus, gently pushing the gingival tissue away from the tooth so you can efficiently capture a detailed impression of the preparation margin.

One cord can be replaced by 3M™ Astringent Retraction Paste, enabling temporary retraction of the marginal gingiva and providing a dry sulcus on a healthy periodontium. It can be used for taking material-based or digital impressions and for Class II and V fillings.

Simple steps to a clean and dry working field.

Extrude a small amount of paste and discard. Insert retraction capsule tip into the sulcus. The tissue is mechanically retracted.

With the help of the orientation ring, place the tip in the sulcus. Slowly and steadily, inject astringent retraction paste. Completely fill the sulcus.

Leave astringent retraction paste in place for a minimum of 2 minutes.

Completely remove astringent retraction paste with air-water spray and suction.
