To evaluate and compare the gums displacement by application of three different methods.

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy individual with no signs of gingival inflammation, no bleeding on probing, no malocclusion, clinically healthy mandibular molar tooth

• Registration Number: CTRI/2021/05/033569
• Lead Sponsor: Rachana shah

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the amount of gingival displacement produced by cord, cordless and combination of cord and cordless systems.

Informed consent taken from every patient.

Periodontal health evaluated.

All three systems have to be evaluated in each patient in the same order in three consecutive sessions spaced 14days apart.

Die sectioning of casts done at buccal groove of mandibular molar tooth of each cast and width measured under travelling microscope as the distance from the tooth to the crest of the gingiva.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Evaluation of amount of gingival displacements produced by different gingival retraction systems.	Baseline, 2weeks, 4weeks
