Put away the gingival retraction cords, and minimise your patients’ risk of trauma or haemorrhaging with the Astringent Retraction Paste (from Solventum, formerly 3M Health Care), an award-winning solution* that is loved by professionals.

Facilitate fast and precise gingival retraction with an extra-fine tip that fits right into the sulcus for precise placement. This allows clinicians to gently retract gingival tissue for highly accurate crown and bridge impressions, with reduced bleeding.

By creating a clean and dry site, clinicians will also find it a useful tool for moisture control when seating ceramic restorations.

With a simple workflow that is comfortable for patients and convenient for clinicians, choosing the Astringent Retraction Paste for your practice is an effective decision made easy.
