Accurate impressions and precise restorative margins are essential for successful crown, bridge, and veneer placements. One of the most effective techniques used in these procedures is gingival retraction, which ensures clear, well-defined tooth margins by gently pushing the gum tissue away. To achieve this with maximum precision, dental professionals rely on Osung Gingival Cord Packer with Autoclavable Silicone Handle—a high-quality tool designed for comfort, control, and superior cord placement.

Why Is Gingival Retraction Important?

Before making an impression for a prosthetic restoration, the dentist must create space between the gingiva and the prepared tooth to ensure accurate impression detailing. Gingival retraction cord is used to gently displace the soft tissue while controlling moisture and bleeding, allowing for the perfect restoration fit.

For efficient placement of the retraction cord, a precise cord packer is needed—one that ensures secure insertion with minimal trauma. Osung’s Gingival Cord Packer is specially designed for this purpose, providing superior handling, durability, and sterility.
