“Pascal Retraction Cord helps to obtain a precise impression, protection of the gingival sulcus and better visualization of the dental preparation margins during scanning and cementation. Hemostatics and astringents promote efficient hemorrhagic control and fluid containment of the gingival region. The enormous variety of materials allow professionals to solve different clinical situations.

I recommend all clinicians use Pascal products. They provide high-quality material that will improve the daily clinic in pursuit of excellence.”

“Pascal’s Siltrax EPI retraction cord facilitates making perfect impressions and, in addition, exceedingly simple to do. Trimming dies has never been so clear and easy. Every product they make is outstanding. I strongly recommend dentists use Pascal’s products because they provide the best clinical results possible”

“Pascal cords, hemostatic pellets and instruments are game changers. Excellent hemostatic control and margin exposure. The harder the clinical condition, the more value the product gains. Practically speaking, in some clinical situations, it’s impossible to work without. Highly recommend.”

With Pascal's reputation for quality and innovation in Tissue Management, it was a no-brainer to have them fabricate the "Get Packed" for me. Quality products. Quality people.

“Predictability, control and easy management. Pascal markedly improved my clinical times and results. I have been working with Pascal products over 5 years now, Pascal is a family based business with 85 years in research, development and production of the best products for handling soft tissue for high quality dentistry.”

“The most important place on all direct and indirect restorations is the margin which is often located subgingivaly. The opening of the gingival sulcus and exposure of the margins are the foundations to success in both conventional and digital impressions. Pascal International's retraction cords, astringent and hemostatic instruments and materials are some of the best I've ever used and they guarantee ideal results.”

“I am truly amazed how much my clinical workflow and results have improved since using Pascal cord. The retraction and isolation of the margin is like no product I have ever used. It's a true game changer that I cannot practice without and I recommend completely.”

“I am a long time Cerec user and Patterson certified Cerec trainer, Pascal International retraction cords and Racellet Pellets are my No 1 choices when it comes to tissue management.”

“Quality, predictability, ease of use, and outstanding customer support/relationships are just a few of the many virtues that Pascal products and their team offer all their customers worldwide. Pascal vast array of tissue management products allow us clinicians to be able to directly influence a more precise outcome with less effort and more patient comfort. Knowing you can trust Pascal materials to continuously deliver excellent results providing ease of mind is one of the reasons I choose and recommend Pascal products.”

“Great product from an outstanding company. The SB Clearwater (R-55) Cord Packer and Siltrax EPI #00 are essentials in the STrupp/Brumm tissue management protocol”

“I am always on the lookout for the most effective and efficient tools and techniques that can help me achieve the best possible results for my patients. Pascal Retrax Cords and instruments are a fantastic addition to my day to day activity. The cords’ structures allow for easy packing, excellent adaptability, and optimal tissue management. I highly recommend using Pascal products for your impression procedure. They will enhance your dental practice.”

When you work with microscope and digital dentistry is essential to understand how to handle soft tissue.

Margin visualization is a key factor to have the possibility to create a perfect prep and pascal retraction cord knitrax 000 is my choice for it.

The process of scanning is very delicate and getting the correct gingiva retraction is one of the most important step. I have been using Siltrax plus in my cases and the results are amazing.

The hemostatic and astringent present in the product promote the perfect condition for the scanner.

"Excellence in the restoration of a tooth starts with the technical precision and fit of the restoration. Pascal products, specifically the AS line retraction cord, have been my go-to for ensuring adequate and efficient retraction for digital workflows when restoring teeth for a decade. The caliber of dental professionals and technicians that recommend and use their products truly speaks to the quality and predictability you can expect to find with Pascal products.”

I was introduced to Pascal products by my good friend Dr. Luis Calicchio when we started digital processes in our clinical routine and, without a doubt, it was a game changer. The quality of gingival retraction combined with hemostasis guarantees ideal exposure and visualization of the structures, allowing a much more predictable result of direct or indirect restorations. Currently, Pascal products are essential within my work protocols.

One of the greatest benefits of the use of the microscope is precision during restorative procedures. In order to accomplish that I need to control fluids at the gingival margin. The way to successfully accomplish is with the Pascal instruments, retraction cords and pellets. These products allow me to see the complete control of the fluid at 20x magnification, and that is the reason I recommend Pascal products for every dentist and microscope user.

Excellence in indirect restorations begin and ends with tissue management. It does not matter if you are using conventional impression material or optical capture, Pascal’s product line is a game changer. Add to their well designed cords and hemostatic agents they’ve also created packing instruments based on input from exceptional wet fingered dentists that become natural extensions of your hands. Incredible products that will elevate every practitioners level of care.

The Pascal retraction products were introduced to me almost 30 yrs ago at a Bill Strupp course and various other restorative courses. The use of retraction cords aids in achieving superior impression results when needed most. Especially today as we are incorporating digital IOS scanning for Impressions. Pascal provides excellent customer support and is constantly innovating and supporting clinical courses to allow Dentists to evolve as their skills develop. I highly recommend utilizing Pascal products in ones restorative practice.

“I have been exclusively using both Pascal retraction cords and the Pascal (R-55) cord packing instruments in my daily clinical workflow now for the last dozen years. Whether restoring a simple direct class V lesion, fabricating a single unit ceramic crown, or taking a digital impression for a full arch rehab, Pascal cords and packing instruments allow me to easily and predictably achieve both tissue retraction and hemostasis. Pascal retraction cord enables precise exposure and margination of my preparations during the design process. It also aids tremendously in the cement cleanup process, preventing resin from being left behind in the gingival sulcus. I highly recommend Pascal’s products to all my colleagues in pursuit of clinical excellence.”

Hydent spray and color transfer sticks are great on their own but used together? They may quite possibly be the most equitable and reliable means of ensuring you've identified the most hard to read denture sore spots. Trust but verify.

Since 2014, I have offered Dental Photography Courses worldwide, giving me the opportunity to meet and share the stage with some of the biggest names in Dentistry. As the owner of Monkey Media, a filmmaker, and a dental photographer, I collaborate with many Dental Global Key Opinion Leaders, including Paulo Kano, Florin Cofar, Eric van Dooren, Gustavo and Marcelo Giordani, among others.

I have observed that these renowned professionals consistently use the best equipment, instruments, and products, just as I do in my practice. Over the years, I have worked closely with the Pascal team at various significant international dental events. There are a few key phrases I frequently hear when KOLs mention or work with Pascal products: high-quality materials, innovation, predictability, game-changing instruments, must-have products, best tissue management, reliability, and professionalism.

It’s fascinating to see how Pascal's variety of retraction cords connect the best dentists in the world, and how Pascal instruments are indispensable tools for achieving excellent outcomes.

“Along with Pascal's wide variety of high quality products, Hydent Sticks can be used with ease as essential making applicators for locating denture highs spots and other marking applications.”

“Love when products actually do what manufacturers claim they do! Pascal has helped me deliver consistently better dentistry to my patients with their great products. They are thoughtful in delivering products to help the clinician achieve great results at a fair price. Controlling tissue and visualizing margins to ensure a superior impression is a no brainer with all the products available with Pascal. The cord packers have a great feel in my hands and hold up very well after many uses. The amount of attention Pascal has put into our success is unbelievable and I appreciate partnering with this amazing company in providing outstanding patient care. I highly recommend Pascal and their products to any clinician who values clinical success.”

“It is very difficult to replace a material you use over 14 years, one time you have a great technique using that specific product and achieve great results using it. I reluctantly tried to use Pascal retraction cords because I did not want to leave my comfort zone, but one day I decided to test it. After that day, there was no return, I left 14 years of history to be surprised by the high performance of gingival retraction and hemostasis of Pascal cords providing an spectacular impression! I became fan of these retraction cords. Congratulations Pascal retraction cords!”

“The Pascal Retrax System gives me 100% confidence in my ability to take a perfect impression on the first try. I love Pascal products, they definitely make my practice shine and my work life easier.”

“It’s good when you feel relaxed and confident while preparing teeth, or during making the impressions for the final result, without having the fear for example that your bur touched the retraction cord or that due to bleeding the impression was not ok and you have to repeat the procedure. With Pascal’s retraction cords I feel having the total control for predictable and repeatable results.”

“To create beautiful smiles, you have to use the beautiful products, and Pascal Internationals products are up there with the best.”

“I prefer Pascord which is impregnated with a solution of aluminum sulfate for the patients who need gingival retraction. Pascord plays a key and essential role for the precise dental treatment in microscoptic dentistry. The handling properties are excellent with its yellowish green cord color which provides better visualization. I believe in the double-cord technique by using a smaller size of Pascord for the initial pack and size #2 for the secondary pack. It is the best combination I have found in over these 20 years. I believe this is the best combination and solution for tissue management in dentistry today.”

“To a dental technician, retraction cord is one of the key factors to being able to produce a well fitting restoration. Whether you use conventional impressions or digital ones, the prepped tooth should be well exposed to achieve a proper margin seal. I have found Pascal retraction cords to be ideal for both methods. As a CAD/CAM technician I find their Black KnitTrax 000 cord ideal for intra-oral scanning, because the use of it helps create a greater contrast between the margins and the soft tissue, therefore achieving a better quality fit for crowns, bridges and Veneers.”

“Wish I had found the Pascal Retrax system earlier. It would have saved me much frustration when taking impressions. I particularly love their cord packer and hemostatic pellets. Very high quality, easy to use and effective. They make my clinical life easier. Highly recommended!”

"When making direct and indirect restoration treatments close to the free gingival margin, in which you require a perfect impression of the completion of the dental preparation, you need quality products for both gingival retraction and hemostasis. Pascal’s Retrax Solution and Knittrax Cords are the best allies to make the most complicated clinical work easier and more controlled, obtaining predictable and high-quality results. I strongly recommend Pascal products for the daily clinical practice."

“As a CADCAM dentist, my tissue management criteria is higher than traditional impression taking. Perfect tissue management is absolutely key Pascal international provides me a lot of help for this. Pascal International has the largest selection of high quality retraction cords on the planet. The have everything! All sizes, all types of styles such as braided, knitted, twisted. Several medications- Aluminum Sulfate, Epinephrine, combination and plain. They also many interesting packing instruments and 3 distinct gingival gels all to make your job easier and your cases more successful. You can not find a better tissue management product line than that of Pascal International. A true global leader.”

“I have been using digital workflow in my practice since 2018, and Pascal retraction cords have been with me ever since. Everybody knows that to obtain the best result in our indirect restorations, a quality gingival retraction is essential, especially when using an Intraoral Scanner. Siltrax Plus is the best retraction cord for Digital Dentistry, I strongly recommend it to everyone.”

“Effective soft-tissue management has always been important for successful fixed restorations. With the increased utilization of CAD/CAM, I feel that optimal gingival retraction is even more critical. It is a pleasure to work with Pascal to help develop new instruments and materials that simplify this extremely crucial step.”

“Margin control is the key to success in any prosthetic procedure. Pascal international retraction cords can easily control the margin especially under microscopic preparation and veneer cementation in my daily work. To achieve excellent results you need to choose excellent products! Personally I highly recommend Pascal products!”

“For indirect restorations to fit well whether with analog or digital techniques, we need to accurately capture marginal detail. The Pascal line of cords, packers and medicaments ensure clinical success for our students and experienced clinicians.”

I was introduced to Pascal products, over 25 years ago, in my post doctoral training at the University of Minnesota- Pascal products were in his textbook “ Theory and Practice of Precision Attachment Partial Dentures by Richard Goodkind DMD MS. He made me switch to his way, which I will forever be indebted. Likewise, I pass on to my residents the concepts of isolation, hemostasis and retraction . Foundational principles that have stood the test of time. I enjoy learning and using technologies, Pascal keeps me up to date .

“I love Pascal and their products. Predictability comes to mind when using their comprehensive tissue management line. Whether digital or analog dentistry you can expect great results with Pascal products.”

I tend to spend most of my career on what we call the "Frontier of Dental". Seeing and touching things before anyone else, making new paths in new territory. And helping Pioneers navigate their way to a goal. Because the risks are higher on the Frontier, you half to have those you trust and like on your team. I have been on the Frontier with Pascal Dental, and I can say you will not be disappointed to have them on your team. They won't let you down.

“One of the most challenging and succes-determining factors for my clinical work is tissue control. Pascal cords have proven time and time again to be my go-to solution for marginal exposure and predictable scans and impressions. I highly recommend clinicians to give the products a try themselves, so they can discover why Pascal products stand out.”

“Simply put, The retraction cords and hemostatics that do the job better than rest. The Pascal Retrax System ensures predictability and great results.”

“Thank you Pascal! I can finally remove retraction cord without rushing to take an impression. With Siltrax A.S. I experience clear vision, no bleeding, and no frayed or loose threads. I have tissue displacement that lets me work without rush during our digital or traditional impressions, this is what I have always wanted in a retraction cord and I have found it.”

“Pascal offers multiple high quality, pH balanced, great tasting preventive products that are easy to implement chair side. Fluorilaq Squeeze Varnish is perfect for a fast-pace office because it offers reliable dosages, easy application process and saves time, money, storage space and there is no wasteful packaging!”

“Fluorilaq Squeeze is just another innovative and exciting product from Pascal. It saves time, money and storage space. The fact that there is xylitol in it only enhances it. We all know the benefits that xylitol has in caries prevention. The bubblegum and caramel flavors are exciting too as the children will love it. Try this product out…..see how you like it…..like all Pascal products, I would be surprised if it did not get 5 stars from you all.”

“Clinical dentistry can never be stress-free but anything that makes it less stressful and more predictable is a no-brainer. I have used a range of Pascal products to this end and have confidence in them and also the Pascal team who have always been available to answer my queries. Thank you and keep up the good work!”
