Product Profile: Voco Retraction Paste 

Unlocking optimal impression accuracy


Voco Retraction Paste is an astringent paste with aluminum chloride that widens and dries the gingival sulcus, creating ideal conditions for accurate and successful digital or conventional impressions. It features a custom-engineered capsule with a long, fine, flexible plastic tip that limits damage to the gingiva and allows for precise application.

The paste’s two-stage viscosity makes for a simple application. It easily flows under low pressure out of the capsule and into the sulcus with minimal extrusion force. Once in place, its viscosity increases to remain stable as it temporarily widens the sulcus.

At 0.3 g per cap, the paste capsules contain enough material for up to three teeth. The material itself is a bright turquoise color, providing high contrast to the tooth structure and gingiva, ensuring that the paste is visible and can be easily rinsed off after only one to two minutes without staining.

While primarily used for the retraction of the marginal gingiva and moisture management of the gingival sulcus before analog or digital impressions, the material can also be used to assist in the cementation of temporary and permanent restorations, and as preparation for Class II and Class V restorations.

Compared with other methods and brands, Voco Retraction Paste can save up to 50% of the practitioner’s procedural time, and it can be used as a replacement for—or in combination with—a retraction cord.
