3M Espe Astringent Retraction Material - Paste

The 3M™ Espe Retraction Capsule is engineered to provide fast and precise gingival retraction, addressing a critical need in dental procedures that require access to the sulcus. Its extra-fine tip is designed to fit snugly into the sulcus, ensuring precise placement and enabling efficient delivery of the retraction paste. This precision is unparalleled and allows for detailed impressions of the preparation margin, a crucial aspect of dental work.

One of the standout features of this product is its long-lasting hemostatic effect. The 3M™ Espe Retraction Capsule contains a 15% aluminum chloride astringent paste that not only retracts the gingival tissue gently but also controls bleeding effectively. This eliminates the need for traditional retraction cords, which can be challenging and time-consuming to place. With this innovative capsule, you can achieve a dry sulcus on a healthy periodontium, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, from Class II and V fillings to cementation of temporary and permanent restorations.

One of the primary concerns in dental procedures is patient comfort, and the 3M™ Espe Retraction Capsule addresses this with finesse. It is designed to be gentle on the tissue, significantly reducing the risk of tissue trauma or hemorrhaging compared to traditional cords. Patients can expect a more comfortable experience, which is essential for building trust and ensuring repeat visits.

Furthermore, hygiene is paramount in dental practice, and the 3M™ Espe Retraction Capsule delivers on this front as well. It comes in a single-use, hygienic unit-dose capsule that can be used for up to three teeth. This eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and ensures a clean and safe environment for both patients and practitioners.
