    Study Notes

    Dental Fluid Control and Gingival Displacement Techniques

    • Astringents are used to precipitate proteins on the superficial layer of mucosa, making it mechanically stronger and decreasing exudation.
    • Mechanical methods of fluid control include rubber dam, high volume vacuum, saliva ejectors, Svedopter, cotton rolls, absorbents, dry tips, and reflective shields.
    • Rubber dam is contraindicated in patients allergic to latex and should not be used for crown preparation with copious irrigation.
    • High volume vacuum is used for powerful suction, debris removal, and lip retraction. Saliva ejectors are low volume suction devices used for saliva removal, with limitations in impression and cementation procedures.
    • Svedopter is a metal saliva ejector with a tongue guard, while Isolite is a multifunctional device for tongue and cheek retraction, bite block, and saliva removal with a source of light.
    • Cotton rolls are used for moisture control, cheek and tongue retraction, and are appropriate for impression making and cementation.
    • Reflective shields and dry tips are alternative saliva control methods, with dry tips being useful for parotid gland isolation and moisture absorption.
    • Vasoconstrictors and astringents are used to stop bleeding locally, while chemical methods for saliva control include local and systemic options.
    • Systemic anti-sialagogue drugs, such as clonidine, can reduce salivary output, but should be used cautiously due to potential serious effects on general health.
    • Gingival displacement is necessary for accurate impressions, finish line visibility, restoration of cervical lesions, and to control cement flow.
    • Retraction cords are used to separate the gum from the tooth during impression taking, preventing cement from entering the sulcus.
    • Cotton and retraction sleeves are techniques for gingival displacement, pushing the gum away from the tooth and blanching it to stop bleeding.
