Abstract

Effective gingival retraction is essential to open a space surrounding the preparation margin and to have a clean and dry field to take the impression. Adequate retraction has to be accomplished in all subgingival areas to guarantee that the impression material or digital scan register beyond the margins of Preparation. This study was focused on evaluation and comparison of the amount of displacement of free gingiva with the use of a new retraction paste and retraction cord system
