| Expasyl™ is a paste used for gingival retraction that opens the sulcus, physically displacing the tissue and leaving the field dry, ready for impression taking or cementation. You simply place it directly into the sulcus, leave it for one to two minutes, then rinse.
When you use it before taking the final impression, Expasyl will hold its rigidity while in the sulcus to create space between the tooth and the tissue, much like retraction cord does. Unlike cord, you need little or no pressure to apply Expasyl, which greatly minimizes the risk of rupturing the epithelial attachment. Bleeding and crevicular seepage are controlled through the presence of aluminum chloride. With Expasyl, you’ll save time and give your patient a comfortable experience while setting the stage for a quality restoration. |
