IT’S TIME FOR EFFECTIVE & ATRAUMATIC GINGIVAL RETRACTION
Expasyl™ Exact paste provides excellent benefits with little risks. Its viscosity has been carefully calculated to open the sulcus effectively without damaging the epithelial attachment. Your procedure is both safe and effective.
ACTEON introduced EXPASYL™ gingival retraction paste in 2000 and it is still the choice for clinicians worldwide for safe, minimally invasive tissue management. EXPASYL™ facilitates accurate and pain-free impressions with digital intraoral scanners as well as traditional impression methods.
"A preparation protocol is necessary prior to recording optical data. A system for gentle gum eversion and reliable haemostasis, such as Expasyl, is an essential part of this protocol. […] There is an additional specific advantage in using Expasyl with direct CAD/CAM (during treatment): the epithelial attachment is treated with care, which means that bonding can be carried out during the same clinical process whilst respecting the gum collarets during all the phases of creation, in a single operation."

Expasyl™ Exact paste provides excellent benefits with little risks. Its viscosity has been carefully calculated to open the sulcus effectively without damaging the epithelial attachment. Your procedure is both safe and effective.
Position the end of the cannula to create a closed space. Slowly extrude the material.
Inject the paste in the sulcus all around the tooth to ensure the best possible impression quality.
Let Expasyl™ Exact act for 1-2 min max. The gum tissue whitens, indicating the compression exerted by the material.
Clear the paste with a gentle air water spray with simultaneous HVE suction.
The sulcus is opened, and the site is completly dry. No trauma, pain, or bleeding. A perfect impression can now be taken.
Expasyl™ and Ceramic Bonding
Expasyl™ is a product I cannot do without in my day-to-day practice. It is extraordinary for making impressions and, in the time of ceramic restoration, essential for eliminating gingival fluid during bonding.

Expasyl™ Impressions and Cementation for Ceramic Restorations
Expasyl™ is my go to product for patients that present with thin biotype and/or low crest anatomic conditions. When you probe to bone on these patients, there is more than 3 mm of tissue present and they are highly susceptible to recession. EXPASYL does not disturb the epithelial attachment, creates hemostasis and a gap that you can impress or scan. This technology ensures a predictable gingival complex with no recession visible on the cementation appointment.

Sulcular bleeding exists in the area distal to tooth #19 following preparation. Gingival retraction cord did not help with visualization or entirely control sulcular bleeding.
EXPASYL Exact was applied to the area in addition to the retraction cord to reduce bleeding and provide more visibility.
The bleeding ceased entirely which allowed for better visibility, retraction, and control of moisture.
In the end, a perfect impression was achieved.
In some instances, bleeding occurs during the removal of cervical caries, especially in the elderly. Although packing cord helps in isolation, it does not always control the bleeding.
Bleeding is controlled so that the prep is not contaminated with blood and a clean and visible bonding surface is available.

Like a traditional impression, a digital imprint requires a precise reading of the limits and no bleeding. For this subgingival preparation covering the dark side of the tooth, the gum tissue quickly repositions itself on the margin, making it impossible to read. Expasyl makes it possible to open the sulcus and dry the area for a precise impression. Because reading is easier, the procedure is completed more quickly.
