INDIAN LAND, S.C.—Voco's new retraction paste is an astringent paste with aluminum chloride that is designed to widen and dry the gingival sulcus and create ideal conditions for accurate and successful digital or conventional impressions.


Voco Launches New Retraction Paste



Voco Retraction Paste features a custom-engineered capsule with a long, fine, flexible plastic tip rather than metal, that avoids damage to the gingiva and allows for precise application. Its two-stage viscosity makes for simple application. First, the paste flows under low pressure out of the capsule into the sulcus with minimal extrusion force, then once in place its viscosity increases to remain stable as it temporarily widens the sulcus. At 0.3 g per cap, the capsules contain enough material for up to three teeth.

Primarily used for the retraction of the marginal gingiva and moisture management of the gingival sulcus prior to analog or digital impressions, Voco Retraction Paste can also be used to assist in the cementation of temporary and permanent restorations, and as preparation for Class II and V restorations.

The material comes in a bright turquoise blue color, providing high contrast to tooth structure and gingiva, ensuring that the paste is visible and can be easily rinsed off after one to two minutes. The paste can be used as a replacement for, or in combination with a retraction cord.
