Objective:-The amount of liquid up take by gingival retraction cord is most important factor for successful gingival displacement procedure. The aim of this investigation was to determine the optimal soaking time for 5 different types (000, 00, 1, 2, 3) of retraction cords to ensure adequate amount of the 3 haemostatic solutions (Epinephrine, aluminum chloride and ferric sulfate). Methods: - The capability of the cords to absorb liquids was measured by a gravimetric method. Each type of cord was cut into identical lengths of 35 mm and soaked in medicament at 5 different time intervals (2 seconds; 1, 5, and 60 minutes; and 24 hours). The liquid up take can be calculated by, the weight of cord after immersion subtract the weight of cord before immersion, divided by weight of cord before immersion. F test analysis, and P<.05 was regarded as significant. Results: - The rate of liquid uptake calculated from the saturation equations exhibited significant correlation with the cord thickness (P<.05). The saturation levels of the solutions did not show correlation with the cord thickness (P>.30). Conclusion: - The results of this study indicated that 20 minutes is optimum soaking time to get the maximum saturation of medicament, before use for gingival retraction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
