| Summary: | Aim:
The aim was to compare and evaluate the fluid absorbency of retraction cord after immersing in ZOAMETTM nasal decongestant and VIZOLINETM eye decongestant.
Material and Method:
A total of 90 pieces, each 50 mm long, were divided into three groups of 30. Group 1 consisted of untreated cords, while Groups 2 and 3 involved cords immersed in both solutions for 20 minutes, respectively. Further subgroups were divided based on immersion in artificial saliva and plasma. When immersed in medicaments, a significant difference in the absorption of fluids (artificial saliva and plasma) and between the two solutions was observed.
Result and Conclusion:
It was concluded that both the agents are safe to be used for gingival retraction; among the two, VIZOLINETM gave more efficient results. |
