Study Notes

Tissue Dilation in Dentistry

Minimum horizontal space required for proper tissue dilation is 5-6 mm.
Purpose of gingival tissue dilation includes creating space for impression materials and enhancing visibility of margins for better fit and aesthetics.
Tissue dilation assists in impression making by providing a more accurate representation of the dental tissues, ensuring that the final restoration fits properly.

Methods of Tissue Dilation

The method that involves the physical displacement of free gingiva by placement of materials within the gingival sulcus is known as the "gingival retraction method."

Requirements and Indications

A key requirement for tissue dilation is to protect and maintain the health of supporting periodontal tissues, preventing inflammation and recession.
Tissue dilation is indicated during finishing and cementation to ensure optimal access and visualization for accurate placement of dental restorations.
