Indications & Directions for Use

Use whenever gingival retraction is advisable in dental practice, as preceding impression taking with any elastic impression material; or prior to placement of caps, crowns, bridges; and during tooth preparation. Epidri will help control capillary oozing and tissue engorgement through temporary vasoconstriction. In dental use normal gingival moisture will activate Epidri by facilitating the absorption of the medication. Otherwise, the pellets may be quickly dipped in water just before being applied.

  • Epidri can be used dry; normal tissue moisture will activate the medicament in Epidri, or they can be dipped in water prior to placement.
  • Pack Epidri pellets interproximally, in conjunction with Pascal’s retraction cord, to achieve best possible gingival retraction.
  • When ready to apply the impression material, remove the Epidri pellets
  • Epidri completely retracts tissue within five to eight minutes and should then be removed from the mouth
  • Dispensed pellets are intended for single use only and should be disposed of immediately after use.
