constriction of soft tissues. They have a massive use in
bleeding control in various dental procedures such as impression making in fixed prosthodontics,
class V restorations and root surface restorations, etc.

A

veneers or esthetic
anterior cases.

47
Q

-Inhibits setting of PVS impression materials
-leads to

A

inaccurate impressions

48
Q

Dentin Darkening:

A

Possible high acidity of gingival retraction fluids (GRFs) and the high
affinity of iron for hard tooth tissues, resulting in an interaction with
bacterial byproducts and precipitation of insoluble ferric sulfide in
the porous demineralized dentin

49
Q

For proper exposure of your finish line (margin) cord aims to:
(3)

A

Provide adequate thickness of impression material and access to the
preparation margin.
Reduces tears and distortions of impression material
Sulcus is opened in a cone shape

50
Q

Single Cord Technique
(4)

A

-Use of single cord for entire circumference
-In deeper sulcus, a second cord could be
used in select area
-Remove all cords for impression
-Best used in shallow sulcus

51
Q

Double Cord Technique
(4)

A

-#000 or #00 pre-packed into sulcus.
-Second cord placed over the top of existing cord
-For impression, top cord is removed. Second cord
(lower, smaller cord is left in place for the
impression).
-If smaller cord is picked up in impression, it is cut off
prior to pouring up in stone

52
Q

Double Cord Technique
-Remember – must

A

remove first cord after impression
and before patient goes home! Severe
inflammation and pain can occur.

standard for impression taking. All other
techniques are compared to this.

Use of Local is mandatory
(2)

A

-Patient comfort
-Also aids in reduced salivary flow and some
heme control.

56
Q

Moisture control is mandatory
(3)

A

-Prevents dilution of hemostatic agents

59
Q

Gingival Control – Cord Placement
Common problems:
(4)

A

Insufficient tissue retraction leading to impression
material being too thin.
Cord could be too small vertically or horizontally
Retraction cord too small – Bottleneck of tissue
Top of cord needs to be fully visible with no tissue
overlap at the top of the sulcus.

60
Q

Gingival Control – Cord Placement
Step 1 –
(3)

A

Determine # of cords to use (2 cord technique is the default)
Select largest cord you believe will fit appropriate for your technique
Cut cord into anticipated length plus a little extra

61
Q

Step 2 –
(4)

A

Place cord segments into hemostatic solution. In clinic, we use small clear cups for this.
Recommend Hemodent as primary astringent.
After soaking cord, dab off excess leaving cord still wet just prior to placement in the mouth.
If you know your patient’s gingiva will be bleeding, some Astringedent can be drawn into a
syringe and placed on your cart.

62
Q

Step 3 –
(3)

A

Pack smaller (#000 or #00) cord (now moistened with Hemodent) into the sulcus with
smooth blade instrument.
Cut off excess length.
The margin should be visible ABOVE the cord.

63
Q

Step 4 –
(3)

A

Pack larger (#0 or larger) cord (now moistened with Hemodent) into the sulcus with
smooth blade instrument.
Do not cut off excess length. Leave some cord hanging out to grab later.
The margin should be visible ABOVE the cord.

64
Q

Step 5 –
(8)

A

Allow cord to sit and be isolated (dry and heme free) for 3-5 minutes.
Remove top cord
Air dry the tooth and crevicular area
Place light body material into sulcus circumferentially
Blow the impression material down into sulcus with LOTS of air. (Circular motion around
the tooth multiple times with lots of air)
Start again to place light body impression material
Place impression tray with medium, hard, or rigid impression material
Remove any remaining smaller cord prior to temporizing

65
Q

Do not remove a — cord. This – the gingiva creating bleeding
and an inflammatory reaction.

A

dry
tears

66
Q

Double Cord Technique. Always check for

A

the smaller cord’s removal
prior to the patient being dismissed! This will create pain and inflammation!

67
Q

Has cord been placed gently and does not overflow the sulcus BUT you still have bleeding from
your preparation or patients gingival unhealth?

A

Rub Astringedent on tissue until bleeding stops.
Remove dark debris from Astringedent by using Hemodent and cotton pellet.
Dry thoroughly
Check for bleeding and repeat if necessary

68
Q

REMEMBER – Astringedent will inhibit the setting of your PVS impression material. — may allow you to get an adequate impression

A

A
thorough wash and dry

69
Q

*There are some situations where the bleeding cannot be controlled well enough for a final
impression that day. In this case, you

A

temporize, send the patient home, and have them back
in a week to remove the temp, pack cord and take a new impression after healing has
occurred. Can also prescribe Chlorhexidine to help reduce inflammation etc.

70
Q

Retraction Pastes –
(2)

A

Traxodent (Expasyl, Dryz)
Magic Foam Cord (PVS)

71
Q

Traxodent (Expasyl, Dryz)

A

-15% aluminum Chloride

72
Q

Magic Foam Cord (PVS)
(2)

A

-Material Expands in sulcus
-**Does not have a hemostatic agent

73
Q

**If using a paste, best to combine with a

A

single small cord and add pressure with a
cotton cap

74
Q

Electrosurge
(7)

A

-Burns tissue away
-Burnt tissue odor
-Cauterizes (no bleeding after)
-Tissues heal quickly
-Predictability of final tissue contour or location is
unpredictable
-Inexpensive! (maybe $500 versus $5,000 for laser)
-Easy to use

75
Q

Laser
(6)

A

Vaporizes tissue
”Cut” around the tooth is usually ragged
Laser can be slow to cut. Best for fine detail work. If there
is a lot of tissue to contour or remove, use Electrosurge.
Hemorrhage is not a problem
Tissue heals well
Laser available in UMKC Clinic

76
Q

Rotary
(5)

A

Intentional use of a handpiece to remove excess gingiva
Hemorage can be a problem here
Tissues will heal, but may have some discomfort to patient
Healing contour and levels is unpredictable
Final impression not likely to happen same day. Patient
will have to come back for assessment of healing
results and of tooth preparation and impression.
