Effect of knitted cord and retraction medicaments applied to achieve gingival displacement prior to taking impression has been studied on the blood supply of marginal gingiva of volunteers using laser Doppler flowmetry. Immediately after application of #00 cord saturated with 0.9% saline, 25% AlCl3 or 15.5% Fe2(SO4)3 solutions, significant decrease of blood perfusion was registered. Removal of cords containing medicaments resulted in prompt gingival hyperemia. However, vasoconstriction observed as a consequence of cord application saturated with 0.1% epinephrine proved to be long-lasting and persisted even in the 20th min of cord removal. In conclusion our results suggest that the reduced perfusion of marginal gingiva is evoked by the mechanical compression of retraction cord. At the time of making impression, which procedure in clinical practice is due immediately after cord removal, the blood flow of marginal gingiva is elevated. Permanent hypoperfusion can be achieved only by the means of cord impregnated with 0.1% epinephrine.

D003761	Dental Impression Technique	Procedure of producing an imprint or negative likeness of the teeth and/or edentulous areas. Impressions are made in plastic material which becomes hardened or set while in contact with the tissue. They are later filled with plaster of Paris or artificial stone to produce a facsimile of the oral structures present. Impressions may be made of a full complement of teeth, of areas where some teeth have been removed, or in a mouth from which all teeth have been extracted.
