What is Retraction Paste & How Does it Compare to Packing Cord?

Retraction paste takes the place of packing cord or can be used in conjunction with cord. Considered to be easier, quicker and less painful for the patient than packing cord, retraction paste goes around the gingiva of the tooth and then the patient bites down on a retraction cap which each come in three sizes depending which tooth is being worked upon.

Retraction paste is purchased either in a syringe or a compule. Premier Traxodent is one of the most popular options which comes in both the syringe and compule delivery system. Traxodent
