Abstract

Gingival retraction is commonly employed in dentistry. There are several methods that may be used, which fall into mechanical, chemo-mechanical and surgical techniques. The application of these methods depends on the clinical activity the clinician is performing, and there are advantages and disadvantages to each method. This review reflects on the current literature available on gingival retraction methods to provide clinicians with guidance on which methods to consider when undertaking the three most common clinical scenarios: master impression taking; cementation of indirect restorations whether tooth or implant retained; and for direct adhesive dentistry. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Selecting an appropriate gingival retraction method, for example for master impression taking, cementation of restorations and in adhesive dentistry is of value.
