INTRODUCTION To obtain a accurate impression control
of fluids and appropriate displacement of gingiva are essential. Impression making is technique sensitive because accurate reproduction of finish line is essential for the fabrication of fixed partial denture. Fluid control and gingival displacement enhance the operator visibility , increased patient comfort, and aid in exacting optimum benefits from the impression and cementation procedure.
![Page 4: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
When the preparation margins extend subgingivally, the adjacent tissues must be retract or displaced laterally to allow acess and to provide adequate thickness of the impression material. This may require enlarging the gingival sulcus through mechanical , chemical , or surgical means and must be done without jeopardizing periodontal health.

CHEMICAL METHODS OF FLUID CONTROL
ANTI-SIALOGOUGES
LOCAL ANASTHETICS
CLONIDINE (ANTI-HYPERTENSIVE DRUG)
![Page 24: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ANTI-SIALOGOGUES Controls salivary flow
They are gastrointestinal anti-cholinergics that inhibit the action of myoepithelial cells in salivary glands, producing dry mouth.
These drugs inhibit parasympathetic inervation and thereby reduce secretions, including saliva.
This group of drugs includes –atropine, dicyclomine, and methantheline.
![Page 25: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
CONTRAINDICATIONS –
-Patient with heart disease Asthma, obstructive conditions of
congestive heart failure.etc -Glaucoma,
because they can cause permanent blindness.
![Page 26: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
COMMONLY USED ANTI-SIALOGOGUES
Methantheline bromide (banthine) : 50 mg 1 hour before procedure
Propantheline bromide (pro-banthine) : 15 mg 1 hour before procedure
Clonidine hydrochloride (antihypertensive) :
0.2 mg 1 hour befor procedure
![Page 27: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
LOCAL ANESTHETICS
In addition to pain control normally needed during tissue displacement, local anesthesia may help considerably with saliva control during impression making.
Nerve impulse from periodontal ligament form part of the mechanism that regulates salivary flow, when these are blocked by anesthetics , saliva production is considerably reduced.
Local anesthetics drugs are Lignocaine, lidocaine, bupivacaine etc.
![Page 28: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
CLONIDINE (ANTI-HYPERTENSIVE)
It is considered safer than anticholinergics and has no specified contraindications.
However it should be used cautiously in patients who take hypertention medication.
In clinical trial, 0.2 mg of clonidine reduced salivary flow as effectively as 50mg of methantheline.

GINGIVAL RETRACTION
![Page 30: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Definition
Gingival Retraction is the deflection of the marginal gingiva away from a tooth.
Gingival retraction is a process of exposing margins when making impression of prepared teeth.
![Page 31: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Need of gingival displacement
• For accurate impressions in case of finish line at or below the gingival sulcus.
• For restoration of cervical lesions
![Page 32: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
FINISH LINE EXPOSURE
Finish line
The peripheral extension of a tooth preparation / or
The planned junction of two materials / or
The terminal portion of prepared tooth
It is a line of demarcation / or
![Page 33: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
IMPORTANCE OF FINISH LINE EXPOSURE
The gingival tissue must be healthy & free of inflammation before cast restorations are fabricated
The finish line must be reproduced in the impression.The marginal fit is very important in preventing recurrent caries and gingival inflammation (marginal intergrity)
Hence the finish line should be temporarily exposed to reproduce entire preparation.

MECHANICAL METHODS
Commonly used mechanical methods of gingival retraction are :Copper bandRetraction cordRubber dam
![Page 36: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
COPPER BAND Copper band is a welded tube corresponding to
the size of the prepared tooth.
It is used to carry the impression as well as to displace the gingiva to expose the finish line.
Impression compound or elastometric impression materials can be used along with this band.
Disadvantage -Causes injury to the gingival tissues

STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE. (DOUBLE CORD TECHNIQUE )
1. Isolate the prepared teeth with cotton rolls, place saliva evacuators as required, and dry the field with air. Loop the cord.
2. Cut a length of cord sufficient to encircle the tooth. Do not over-
desiccate the tooth, because this may lead to postoperative sensitivity.(Cord is left in the sulcus during impression making. – single cord technique)
![Page 48: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

7. Preparation is dried and impression is made with primary cord in place.
8. After impression making, small diameter cord is soaked in water and removed from the sulcus.
![Page 50: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

CLINICAL TIP : If bleeding is persistent when the first cord is
removed, continue with the impression making certain to syringe the impression material within the sulcus. Even with the expectation that the impression will be unsuccessful. This impression will maintain the retraction while allowing for hemostasis. Remove the first impression and DO NOT look at it. Immediately make a second impression. The sulcus will still be open and will not be bleeding.
-(According to Dr Howard Strassler, Professor, University of Maryland Dental School )
![Page 52: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
# It is best to start in the interproximal area , because the cord can be more easily placed here than facially or lingually.
# The instrument should be angled toward the tooth so the cord is pushed directly into the area.
# It should also be angled slightly toward any cord already packed; otherwise, that portion might be displaced.
NOTE: Overpacking should be avoided because it could cause tearing of the gingival attachment, leading to irreversible recession. Repeated use of displacement cord in the sulcus also should be avoided, since this can cause gingival recession.
![Page 53: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

ROTARY CURETTAGE (GINGETTAGE)
It is a troughing technique , wherein a portion of the epithelium within the sulcus is removed to expose the finish line.
It should be done only on the healthy gingival tissue
![Page 57: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

DISADVANTAGES OF GINGETTAGE
Instrument has poor tactile sense so this technique is very sensitive.
It can potentially damage the periodontium .
![Page 61: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
ELECTROSURGERY The procedure is called surgical diathermy or
Electrosurgical retraction
It is the surgical retraction of the sulcular epithelium using an electrode to produce gingival retraction
The inner epithelial lining of gingival sulcus is removed, thus improving access for a subgingival crown margin and effectively controlling post surgical hemorrhage (provided the tissue are not inflamed).
![Page 62: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
An electrosurgery unit works by passage of a high frequency current (1 to 4 million Hz) through the tissue from the large electrode to a small one. At the small electrode , the current induces rapid localized polarity changes that cause cell breakdown.
For restorative procedure, an unmodulated alternating current (AC) is recommended, because it will minimize damage to deeper tissue.
![Page 63: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
INDICATIONS -
Areas of inflammation in gingival tissue where the retraction cord cannot be used
Gingival proliferation around the prepared finish line
![Page 64: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
CONTRAINDICATIONS -1. Patients with cardiac pacemakers or patients
with any electronic medical devices.2. Use of topical anesthesia such as ethylchloride
and other inflammable aerosols should be avoided when electrosurgery is to be used.
3. Not suitable on thin attached gingivae (e.g labial tissue of maxillary canines)

DISADVANTAGES –1. Very technique sensitive2. Application of excessive pressure may produce
severe tissue damage.3. Difficult to control lateral dissipation of heat.4. It cannot be done in a dry field. The operatory
area should be very moist during the procedure. This leads to compromised access and visibility.

ELECTROSURGICAL UNIT (ESU)
Specially designed electrosurgical units are available for gingival reduction.
The major uses of these electrodes include :
Gingival sulcus enlargement. Crown lengthening. Removal of edentulous cuff.
![Page 68: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
The unit has knobs to alter the frequency and the flow of current.
Two electrodes can be attached to each unit. One is surgical electrode and the other is the ground electrode or ground plate.

MECHANISM OF ELECTROSURGERY
![Page 72: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
TECHNIQUE Basic principles to be followed during
Electrosurgical procedures: Local anaesthesia should be given. Proper power setting – Grounding should be
done before usage of electrode. Swift passage of electrode – During its use,
electrode should be applied with no pressure and swift strokes.
![Page 73: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Rest interval between strokes – It should never be placed stagnant at one point
rather it should move very smooth ,
the probe should move at minimal speed of 7mm per second.
A rest period of 8-10 seconds should be allowed to elapse if second stroke is needed.
The electrode can be cleaned by wiping it with an alcohol-soaked sponge.
![Page 74: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
TECHNIQUE FOR GINGIVAL SULCUS ENLARGEMENT
A small (straight or J-shaped ) electrode is used.
The electrode should be positioned such that it is parallel to the long axis of the tooth.
The procedure is done in four motions namely – facial, mesial , lingual and distal.
Debris in the sulcus should be removed using a cotton pellet dipped in Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
![Page 75: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
TECHNIQUE FOR SURGICAL CROWN LENGTHENING
Removal of hyperplastic gingiva (gingivectomy) inorder to expose anatomical crown to increase accessibility.
It is done using a diamond electrode.
The diamond electrode is run over the tissues such that one of its surfaces follows the incline of the tooth where the procedure is carried out.
![Page 76: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
The bevel should be done on attached gingival to prevent re-growth.
If there is an extensive wound, a periodontal dressing should be given and should be changed weekly.

TECHNIQUE FOR REMOVAL OF EDENTULOUS CUFF
Edentulous cuff is a remnant of inter dental papilla.
Which is seen in the proximal sides of the adjacent edentulous space.
It is removed by using an electrosurgically by using loop electrode.

Visine produced :-50% greater tissue displacement-better control of crevicula seepage-no detectable side-effects
Neosynephrine–-is as effective as, epinephrine & alumin widening the gingival sulcus.
![Page 95: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
DISCUSSION
The choice of gingival retraction cord has proven itself to be one of personal preference by the clinician. Keep in mind that different cord types offer a variety of properties that to some make them more desirable
A 20-25% alluminium chloride and 15.5 – 20 % ferric sulfate are most popularly used chemical reagents. When used for durations within the gingival sulcus of less than 10mins, they cause minimal tissue damage.
![Page 96: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Unfortunately , gingival bleeding is difficult to control when packing a cord into the sulcus, the tissue starts to bleed making impression difficult or impossible. For this reason a new class of gingival retraction material have been introduced. These cordless retraction materials eg. Expasyl ( Kerr), Racegel ( Septodont ) , Traxodent ( Premier ) etc provide for excellent hemostasis and some gingival retraction.
![Page 97: Fluid management & Gingival Displacement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/58ee82031a28ab3e498b4675/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
High viscosity hemostatic gel can be placed in the sulcus to both help with hemostasis and act as lubricant for atraumatic placement of gingival retraction cord and can be placed on the cord itself. For this case 25% alluminium sulfate hemostatic gel is used to impregnate and lubricate a knitted cord.
(According to Dr Howard Strassler,Professor, University of Maryland Dental School,)

CONCLUSION
Gingival displacement is an important procedure for fabricating indirect restoration especially when subgingival finish line is used. Proper management of tissues and fuilds around the prepared teeth is essential for making an excellent impression in a field free from capillary seepage. But before any procedure is attempted, the dentist should analyse for the best suited technique which would minimally harm the adjacent tissues.
