What do you use for...gingival retraction?

Oct. 12, 2020
What's your go-to method for gingival retraction? Pamela Maragliano-Muniz, DMD, and Howard Glazer, DDS, FAGD, discuss the pros and cons of various tools they've used.

Welcome to our weekly installment of “What do you use for ...” videos.

While packing cord around one of my crown preps recently, I found myself wondering what Howard would use for gingival retraction. With so many options on the market, advice from an experienced dentist who's tried most, if not all, of them is priceless. Dr. Glazer talks about the products he uses and their benefits.

In this video and on the DentistryIQ.com Facebook page, we’ll be discussing this and more, so join us!
