3M™ Astringent Retraction Paste

A fast, convenient and effective solution for gingival retraction.

View Products

A great dental impression requires detailed margins - which starts with tissue and moisture control. 3M™ Astringent Retraction Paste provides gentle but effective gingival retraction, to help you capture a detailed impression of the preparation margin.

Gentle, Effective Gingival Retraction

3M™ Astringent Retraction Paste gently pushes the gingival tissue away from the tooth, while helping to control bleeding and improve patient comfort.

Gentle mechanical retraction.

The stiff material decreases the elasticity of collagen fibres and gingival tissue, compressing the gums with less trauma and irritation.
Novel tip fits in sulcus.

The long, slim tip provides easy access to tight interproximal areas, to help you apply the paste in – not on – the sulcus.
Astringent controls moisture.

A hemostetic effect results from the compression on the gums by the paste containing 15% aluminum chloride as an astringent.
Unit-dose format.

Single-use capsules include enough material to treat up to three teeth, and fit into most composite dispensers.

Indications for Use

3M™ Retraction Paste is indicated for the temporary displacement of the marginal gingiva to provide a dry sulcus when the periodontium is healthy. This includes during:

Impressions
Cementation of restorations
Preparation of Class II and V fillings

Unique Nozzle Design

Soft edge capsule tip
Long, slim (1 mm) nozzle with orientation ring
Optimized geometry for easy extrusion
