How To's
- Prepare the tooth for the desired restoration.
- Remove the unit-dose tip from the foil package and insert into any Centrix C-R Syringe. Remove the cap and attach a NeedleTip.
- Slowly inject paste into and around the gingival sulcus. If desired, place Centrix GingiCap compression caps, cotton rolls or any other compression product over the paste to enclose it in place in and around the sulcus. Then have your patient bite down and hold.
- Leave in place for a minimum of 2 minutes for paste to control the fluids and create retraction.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry the site. It’s important to remove the paste completely from the sulcus, as residue may inhibit set of impression materials or distort digital imaging. Repeat if necessary.
- Take your impression, using any impression materials or digital imaging.
- Dispose of cap, tip and foil pouch properly. Disinfect syringe for subsequent use. Paste contains approximately 15% aluminum chloride along with kaolin clay. Do not use on patients with known sensitivity to aluminum chloride. Do not get into eyes; rinse with copious amounts of water if contact occurs.
