I’m actually wondering the same thing—do dentists prefer cords over pastes because of accuracy, or is it just habit? When I first looked into llamacpp, I realized sometimes tradition beats convenience.
Yes, with very sensitive or inflamed gums, combined methods can increase irritation. In such cases, soft mechanical or laser techniques are chosen for minimal discomfort.
Are there cases when combined methods are not recommended? For example, in patients with sensitive gums or a tendency to bleed?
The safest and most effective gingival retraction method depends on the patient’s needs and the procedure. Mechanical cords are common, chemical agents help control bleeding, and lasers offer precision with minimal discomfort. Combined techniques are sometimes used for optimal results. Dentists choose based on tissue sensitivity, location, and treatment complexity.
