METHODS OF ADDITIONAL MOISTURE CONTROL IN THE PROXIMAL AND CERVICAL REGION
Abstract:
The additional humidity control in the gingival sulcus is a very important step in the working protocol of direct proximal and cervical bonded restorations. An efficient removal of the gingival fluids is one of the keys to a correct restoration with good and lasting marginal sealing. The products should also have a gentle effect over the soft tissue, without persistent gingival retraction. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of the four methods for additional moisture control in the proximal and cervical gingival region. The four different categories of products (cord and 10% aluminum chloride hexahydrate solution, a paste with 15% aluminum chloride and kaolin clay, a 25% aluminum chloride gel and a vinyl polysiloxane paste with 15% ammonium aluminum sulfate) have different intrinsic features and specific instructions for use. The results show that the 25% aluminum chloride had the highest clinical efficiency
