Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gingival retraction cord, available with smooth or serrated edges, is mainly found on crown and bridge preparation tray setups to place gingival retraction cord in the sulcus prior to taking final impressions. Crown and bridge scissors are used to trim aluminum temporary crowns at the gingival margin, custom temporary crowns, gingival retraction cord, and matrix bands and to cut the dental dam septum. Contouring pliers are used to crimp and contour the marginal edge of a temporary crown. Crown-removing forceps assist in the removal of a crown.
