Clinical Overview
SuperTract by East Dent is a single‑patient, unit‑dose gingival retraction paste capsule delivering 0.5 g of Aluminum Chloride and Kaolin-based astringent. Designed for atraumatic soft-tissue displacement, sulcus drying, and hemostasis during impression-taking, cementation, and restorative preparation.
Key Benefits
- Astringent hemostasis: Aluminum chloride effectively controls bleeding and moisture.
- Stable viscosity: Kaolin thixotropic gel maintains position in the sulcus for controlled retraction.
- Atraumatic delivery: Rounded capsule tip minimizes tissue damage and ensures precise placement.
- Time-efficient: Requires only 2 minutes to achieve gingival displacement and drying.
- Single‑use capsule: Hygienic, prevents cross‑contamination and ensures dosage accuracy.
- Multi‑tooth treatment: One 0.5 g capsule can retract up to five adjacent teeth in a single patient.
