Gingival retraction paste is a medication used for stopping bleeding, removing gums, and isolating gums. Its main components include benzalkonium chloride, hexadecylpyridine chloride, carboxymethyl cellulose sodium, etc. It can penetrate the periodontal pocket, with high local drug concentration, promote vascular contraction, reduce local inflammatory exudation, and have a hemostatic effect. Meanwhile, gingival retraction paste can separate the gums from the teeth, avoiding damage to the gums during dental treatment.

According to the different properties and therapeutic effects, gingival retraction paste can usually be divided into two categories: temporary gingival ointments and long-term gingival ointments. Temporary gingival retraction paste is mainly used before periodontal surgery, and its action time is relatively short, usually only a few days to a week. This type of gingival sealant needs to be thoroughly cleaned after use to avoid adverse effects on the oral environment; Long-term gingival retraction paste is mainly used to treat chronic periodontitis and other diseases. Its action time is relatively long, usually taking several months or even longer. This type of gingival retraction paste needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor and requires regular follow-up to adjust the medication plan on time.
