Endodontically-Treated Teeth Clinical Trial
Official title:
Assessment of Lateral and Vertical Tissue Displacement Obtained by the Retraction Cord and Diode Laser
In fixed prosthodontic treatment, deflection of gingival tissues for diagnosis or making an
impression is one of the important phases. Gingival displacement is defined as "displacement
of gingival tissues both in vertical and lateral dimensions". Lateral retraction displaces
the tissues so that an adequate bulk of impression material can be interfaced with the
prepared tooth. Vertical retraction exposes the uncut portion of the tooth apical to the
finish line Conventional gingival retraction cord technique may injure the healthy epithelial
lining and result in postoperative gingival recession The diode laser has been used for
displacing gingiva to make a deļ¬nitive impression. Rather than displacing gingival tissue, it
removes the epithelial lining from the sulcus.
The aim of the Study is to compare between the Ultrapak retraction cord and diode laser
regarding the amount of vertical and lateral retraction and patient comfort.
