The gingival retraction cord come in various

diameters from (000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3)
And must be selected appropriate to the
gingival tissue, always starting with the
smaller diameter..

as untwisted, twisted or
braided.

The cord is moistened in

water or in vasoconstrictor
solution and is then twisted
just before placement

Once placed the cord will

expand and open the sulcus,
