AccessFLO by Centrix
Gingival Retraction and Tissue Management
As we all know, performing gingival retraction and tissue
management is a critical step in crown and bridge procedures.
The most common technique is the use of packing (retraction)
cord, however, several alternate cordless retraction materials and
additional techniques have evolved. In some cases, combination
techniques are used involving both retraction cord and cordless
materials. Using retraction cord can be an unpleasant and timeconsuming
procedure for you, your staff and your patients. The
use of cordless materials and techniques as part of crown and
bridge procedures is a growing trend being adopted by more
dental professionals.
Introducing a New Addition to the Centrix
Gingival Retraction Family
Centrix, Inc., a dental products manufacturer, continues its
mission to "make dentistry easier". Centrix is a key participant
in the cordless gingival retraction arena with products that are
minimally invasive and tissue-friendly. Starting several years ago
with its launch of the first silicone VPS cordless gingival retraction
product, called GingiTrac, Centrix captured a piece of the
retraction market. In 2012, Centrix launched a kaolin claybased
gingival retraction paste called Access Edge, which is sold
in a convenient, single-use, unit-dose Centrix syringe delivery
tip. Now, in 2013, Centrix is pleased to announce the newest
addition to its cordless gingival retraction family, AccessFLO - a
more flowable kaolin clay-based gingival retraction paste in a
convenient, single-use, unit-dose Centrix syringe delivery tip.
AccessFLO Can be an Ideal Gingival Retraction
Solution for You
AccessFLO is a flowable clay-based gingival retraction paste
for use prior to all crown and bridge impression procedures.
Minimally invasive and tissue-friendly, AccessFLO allows
for quick and easy tissue displacement without the need
for packing cord. Alternately, AccessFLO can be used in
conjunction with packing cord, acting as a second cord.
Available in single-use, unit-dose Centrix syringe tips,
AccessFLO saves time while eliminating cross-contamination.
The built-in combined dual action of 15% aluminum
chloride hemostatic agent and kaolin clay help to
control bleeding and seepage of sulcular fluids. When it
comes to cleanup, AccessFLO is easily rinsed out and
removed with water spray and a vacuum after a minimum
of two minutes. With AccessFLO you can also achieve
improved gingival retraction for more clearly defined
margins by incorporating a Centrix GingiCap, which utilizes
patient bite-down pressure to push AccessFLO into the sulcus.
AccessFLO comes in convenient, individual pouches so you
never have to worry about the material drying out.
