  • non- impregnated cord can be soaked in heme controlling agents prior to placementwh
43
Q

what are the advantages and disadvantages of retraction cord soaked in epi

A
  • A: can be kind to tissues, sulcus not overly harmed and left clean, no additional tissue loss
    -D: extra epi systemically for pt
44
Q

why is retraction cord soaked in epi not used at UMKC

A

unpredictability in the exposure of epi to patients

45
Q

what are astringents

A

substances that cause constriction of soft tissues

46
Q

what do astringents do

A

bleeding control in various dental proceudres such as impression making in fixed pros, class V restorations and root surface restorations

47
Q

what are astrignents made of

A

-buffered aluminmum chloride (20% hemodent)
- ferric sulfate (15%) astringedent

48
Q

what are the advantages and disadvantages of astringents made from buffered aluminum chloride (20% hemodent)

A
  • A: moderate hemostasis and tissue shrinkage, precipitates protein, contracts blood vessels, extracts fluid from tissues, leaves sulcus clean, sulcus not overly harmed, does not inhibit PVS polymerization
  • D: nasty taste
49
Q

what are the advantages and disadvantages of astringents made from ferric sulfate (15%) astringedent

A

A: stypic (clotting agent), applied to cut tissue for best hemostasis
- D:leaves a dark residue, causes dentin discoloration (dont use with veneers or esthetic cases), inhibits setting of PVS impression materials, leads to inaccurate impressions

50
Q

what is the mechanism of dentin darkening in ferric sulfate astringedent

A

possible high acidity of gingival retraction fluids 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

51
Q

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

A
  • provide adequate thickness or impression material and access to the preparation marin
  • reduced tears and distortions of impression material
  • sulcus is opened in a cone shape
52
Q

what is the single cord technique

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
53
Q

what is the double cord technique

A
  • # 000-#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
  • must remove first cord after ipression before patient goes home
54
Q

what happens if you dont remove cord before patient leaves

A

inflammation and pain

55
Q

what is considered the gold standard for impression taking

A

double cord technique

56
Q

what is the tissue retraction procedure

A
  • use of local is mandatory
  • moisture control is mandatory
  • place cord near crevice
  • place looped cord around tooth with cotton forceps
  • start in deepest part of sulcus ( usually interproximal)
  • use blunt instrument
  • use gentle pressure to avoid stripping attachment
  • placement is parallel to the root
57
Q

why is moisture control mandatory

A

prevents dilution of hemostatic agents, cotton rolls to displace tongue and cheek. other isolation techniques can be used

58
Q

why is the use of local anesthesia mandatory

A

patient comfort, also aids in reduced salivary flow and some heme control

59
Q

what is the angle of the cord placement at the tooth

A

approximately 45 degrees

60
Q

straight downward pressure causes cord to:

A

not seat and creates tissue trauma and further bleeding

61
Q

packing cord towards starting point will:

A

keep cord in place

62
Q

packing cord away from starting point will:

A

pull cord out

63
Q

what are the common problems with cord placement

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
64
Q

what is step 1 of cord placement procedure

A
  • determine # of cord to use (2 cord techqniue is the default)
  • select largest cord you believe will fit appropriate for your technique
  • cut cord into anticipated length plus a little extra
65
Q

what is step 2 of the cord procedure

A
  • place cord segments into hemostatic solution
  • 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 patients gingiva will be bleeding some astringedent can be drawn into syringe and placed on cart
66
Q

what is step 3 of cord procedure

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
67
Q

what is step 4 in cord procedure

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
68
Q

what is step 5 of cord placement

A
  • allow cord to site and be isolated for 3-5 minutes
  • remove top cord
  • air dry the tooth and cervicular area
  • place light body material into sulcus circumferentially
  • below the impression material down into the sulcus with lots of air
  • start again to place light body impression material
  • palce in impression tray with medium, hard, or rigid impression material
  • remove any remaining smaller cord prior to temporizing
69
Q

what are the cautions for cord placement

A
  • do not remove a dry cord it will tear the gingiva creating bleeding and an inflamamtory reaction
  • double cord technique- always make sure you took out both cords
70
Q

what do you do if cord has been placed and does not overflow the sulcus but you still have bleeding from your preparation or patients gingiva is unhealthy

A
  • sub astringent on tissue until bleeding stops
  • remove dark debris from astringent by using hemodent and cotton pellet
  • dry thoroughly
  • check for bleeding and repeat if needed
71
Q

what do you do if bleeding cannot be controlled well enough for a final impression that day

A

temporize, send pt 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

72
Q

what are the retraction pastes

A
  • traxodent: 15% aluminum chloride
  • magic foam cord (PVS)- material expands in sulcus, no hemostatic agent
73
Q

if using a paste best to combine with:

A

a small cord and add pressure with a cotton cap

74
Q

traxodent works best with

A

narrow cord in sulcus and retraction paste placed coronally

Q

traxodent rinses without:

A

leaving a film

78
