title: A predictable gingival retraction system.
abstract: Predictable tissue retraction for impressions and insertion of restorations can be a laborious task for many dental professionals. The Expa-syl paste retraction system has significantly improved the ability to achieve tissue management even under the most difficult situations and in less time. This article demonstrates the use of this paste retraction system to control tissue for impression making as well as for the insertion of adhesively placed nonmetal restorations.
