A device for supplying a dental retraction cord, comprising a cannula for dispensing a dental substance, and a dental retraction cord, wherein the device is adapted for the dental retraction cord to be disposed at least partially within the cannula so that the dental retraction cord is entrained by the dental substance dispensed through the cannula.
A method of making a device for supplying a dental retraction cord, comprising the steps of:
- providing at least a cannula of the device;
- providing the dental retraction cord within the cannula;
- and
- providing dental substance in the container.
A method of retracting gingival tissue from a tooth, comprising the steps of:
- providing a dental retraction cord disposed within a cannula;
- dispensing a dental substance through the cannula and thereby entraining the dental retraction cord with the substance;
- and
- placing the entrained dental retraction cord adjacent the gingival tissue and the tooth.
