A gingival retraction cord packing tool is a hand-held dental instrument used to gently push a retraction cord into the space between a tooth and the surrounding gum tissue. This creates temporary separation to improve visibility and access during dental procedures such as crown or bridge preparation.
These tools are typically made of metal, feature one or two spatula-like ends (sometimes with serrations), and are designed for repeated use after proper cleaning and sterilization. As reusable manual instruments, they are regulated based on their design and intended use, without incorporation of drugs or electronic components.
