ABSTRACT:
A gingival retraction cord having improved characteristics is advantageously constructed by a knitting process. Because of the presence of numerous interlocking loops, the knitted retraction cord is longitudinally elastic, thereby avoiding the tendency to become dislodged once packed as additional portions of the cord are packed around the margin of a tooth. The knitted retraction cord is also transversely resilient, thereby tending to better conform to the gingival sulcus.
