The oral cavity is a difficult area to treat in restorative dentistry because of the constraints of the lips, tongue, cheeks, challenges for access to visualize and manipulate instruments, as well as, the position of the teeth that are being treated relative to the gingival tissues, which if improperly managed, bleed.An accurate impression is obtained for the fabrication of fixed restorations only when the gingival tissue is managed properly. Effective gingival retraction prior to taking an impression without damaging periodontal tissue is very important in long-term success of cast restoration.The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence of gingival bleeding during cord packing.A total 100 patients were taken and analysed for gingival bleeding during cord packing.
The data collection was done using patient management software.The results were tabulated and analysed using SPSS software by IBM. 42% of the patients had an encounter of gingival bleeding during cord packing out of which 22% of them were females and the other 20% were males.Gingival bleeding during cord packing is not much prevalent in patients visiting a private dental college in chennai.This might be due to better oral hygiene.
