KEY SPECIFICATION
PRECAUTIONS:
The product must not beused in patients suffering from a diseased periodontium, open furcations orexposed bone.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
For how long can the pastebe left in the sulcus?
- Typically, the paste should be left in the sulcus for a minimum of 2 minutes to achieve good retraction results. If a hemostatic device is applied too long it may exert unwanted negative effects on the tissue health. Therefore, the hemostatic retraction paste must be rinsed off completely.
How long can one store the Pcsoutside of the blister?
- The Pcs must be taken out of the blister immediately prior to application. It should not be stored outside the blister.
How many teeth can be treatedwith one Pcs?
- The content of one unit-dose Pcs is sufficient to treat up to 3 teeth. The Pcs are for single use and must not be used on more than one patient.
What is the orientationring for?
- The orientation ring corresponds in size and position to the perio probe. It is a feature for more precise and easy intraoral handling.
Why is there a lower riskof bleeding/post-hemorrhage than with cords?
- Cords consist of small fibers that may be incorporated in the coagulum. When the cord is removed, the wound might be opened again. The paste is washed off by air-water spray and suction, resulting in a clean and dry sulcus area.
How can one judge if theretraction effect is sufficient?
- The preparation margin should be clearly visible in the impression. The amount of excessive impression material (“flash”) that covers sulcular areas below the preparation margin is not important.
Does the 3M™ ESPE™Retraction Pcs influence the setting of impression materials?
- As with all astringents, the 3M ESPE astringent retraction paste may inhibit the setting of A-silicones (VPS) and Polyethers. The paste must be completely rinsed off with air-water spray and suction prior to impression taking.
