3M ESPE Astringent retraction paste

New 3M ESPE Astringent retraction paste provides effective gingival retraction fast. Compared to retraction cords, the innovative system can cut up to half the time from the gingival retraction procedure and is up to 30% faster than the leading retraction paste while effectively deflecting the marginal gingiva and providing long-lasting haemostasis. Astringent retraction paste is dispensed using a common composite dispenser and the capsule's patented extra-fine tip is designed to actively open the sulcus and easily deliver the high-viscous astringent paste into the sulcus. The capsule also has a flexible, soft-edge tip and an orientation ring, like a perio probe. Both of these features allow dentists more precise control and easy intra-oral handling. Each single use unit-dose retraction capsule contains 15 percent aluminum chloride, recently recognized by researchers as being as effective as epinephrine soaked cord in reducing the flow of sulcular fluid.
