Product Profile: Z-Twist Weave, GingiPaste

Effective and gentle gingival retraction

One struggle dentists go through with retraction cords is they’re too easily penetrable, requiring them to be replaced midprocedure. Gingi-Pak Z-Twist Weave retraction cords are made from a fourth-generation retraction material that features a braided confi guration for effective handling and minimal penetration from even the smallest instruments. Its unique braided 100% cotton cord is designed for easy packing and remains in place without falling apart. Visible in the sulcus and easy to maneuver in the toughest areas, Gingi-Pak’s retraction cords effectively displace the gingival tissues for restorative treatment. Z-Twist is available in plain or epinephrine/aluminum sulfate-impregnated cords and can be paired with Gingi-Pak’s GingiPaste

GingiPaste is a 15% aluminum chloride hemostatic retraction paste that effectively controls gingival bleeding and minimizes crevicular seepage. It can be used for soft-tissue management during dental restoration, gingival displacement before a 3D dental scan, rubber dam clamps placement, teeth whitening and subgingival cavity restoration. The astringent paste quickly stops gingival hemorrhaging and provides temporary shrinkage of the mucosal tissue without any additional trauma. The included retraction caps allow GingiPaste to provide quick and easy tissue retraction for any crown and bridge impression by facilitating sulcus injection to create gentle and effective gingival retraction. GingiPaste is available in syringes with bendable, rounded intraoral tips and convenient unit doses.
