Product Description
Create a Dry Working Field for Predictable Restorative Success
Achieving excellent restorative results starts with proper soft tissue management. Dryz® Gingival Retraction Paste from Parkell is a professional gingival retraction and hemostatic paste designed to create a clean, dry operating field quickly and comfortably. Whether you are taking digital impressions, conventional impressions, seating indirect restorations, or restoring subgingival margins, Dryz helps expose preparation margins while controlling bleeding and crevicular fluid. As a result, clinicians can capture more accurate impressions, improve adhesive procedures, and reduce costly remakes.
Unlike traditional retraction cords, Dryz offers an atraumatic approach to tissue management. Its creamy consistency adapts easily within the gingival sulcus, providing gentle tissue displacement while remaining exactly where it is placed. Furthermore, it rinses away cleanly without leaving residue that could interfere with bonding, impression materials, or intraoral scanning.
At TransAfrica Medical Supplies, we supply genuine Parkell restorative solutions across East Africa. Through the TransAfrica Academy, we also provide hands-on clinical training that helps dentists improve restorative workflows, impression accuracy, and digital dentistry techniques.
Why Dentists Choose Dryz Gingival Retraction Paste
Soft tissue management directly influences restorative success. Therefore, clinicians require a product that provides rapid hemostasis, predictable tissue displacement, and minimal patient discomfort.
Dryz Gingival Retraction Paste offers several clinical advantages:
- 23% aluminum chloride for rapid hemostasis and moisture control.
- Gently retracts gingival tissue without traumatic cord packing.
- Controls crevicular fluid during restorative procedures.
- Creamy consistency adapts completely around the sulcus.
- Stays in place without slumping or running.
- Easy to rinse away without leaving residue.
- Available in highly visible Green and Blue (Dryz Blu) formulations.
- Available in syringe kits and convenient single-dose capsules.
Improve Accuracy for Digital and Conventional Impressions
Successful indirect restorations depend on capturing clear preparation margins.
Dryz Gingival Retraction Paste provides rapid tissue displacement while eliminating crevicular fluid and minor gingival bleeding. Consequently, clinicians obtain cleaner digital scans and more accurate conventional impressions using PVS or polyether materials. The improved visibility helps reduce distortion, minimize impression retakes, and increase restorative accuracy.
Because the material remains stable inside the sulcus, clinicians can work confidently without worrying about the paste flowing away from the treatment area.
More Than Just Impression Retraction
Many clinicians associate gingival retraction pastes only with crown impressions. However, Dryz offers significantly broader clinical applications.
It is ideal for:
- Digital intraoral scanning
- Conventional impressions
- Crown and bridge preparations
- Crown cementation
- Veneers
- Inlays and onlays
- Class II restorations
- Class V restorations
- Implant restorative procedures
- Rubber dam placement
- Moisture control during adhesive dentistry
Dryz also works exceptionally well alongside other tissue management techniques. It can be combined with retraction cord, compression caps, lasers, or electrosurgery when additional tissue displacement is required.
Better Patient Comfort
Traditional retraction cord placement may cause discomfort, especially around inflamed tissues.
Dryz provides a more comfortable alternative by gently displacing tissue without aggressive packing. Consequently, clinicians improve patient comfort while completing restorative procedures more efficiently.
The application takes approximately 2 minutes, helping reduce overall chair time while maintaining excellent clinical results.
Simple Clinical Workflow
Dryz integrates seamlessly into everyday restorative procedures.
Typical workflow:
- Complete the tooth preparation.
- Gently dry the gingival sulcus.
- Apply Dryz directly into the sulcus.
- Leave in place for approximately 2 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Verify complete removal.
- Proceed with the impression, digital scan, bonding, or restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dryz Gingival Retraction Paste used for?
Dryz provides temporary gingival retraction and hemostasis during restorative procedures. It controls bleeding and crevicular fluid while exposing preparation margins for digital scans, conventional impressions, crown seating, and restorative dentistry.
How long should Dryz remain in the sulcus?
Parkell recommends leaving the material in place for approximately 2 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
Can Dryz be used for digital impressions?
Yes. Dryz is specifically designed for digital scanning as well as conventional impression techniques. It creates a dry, open sulcus that allows intraoral scanners to capture accurate preparation margins.
What is the active ingredient?
Dryz contains 23% aluminum chloride, which rapidly controls gingival bleeding and crevicular fluid while providing effective tissue displacement.
Can Dryz replace retraction cord?
In many restorative procedures, yes. However, clinicians may also combine Dryz with retraction cord, compression caps, lasers, or electrosurgery when additional tissue displacement is required.
Is Dryz easy to remove?
Yes. The creamy formula rinses away easily without leaving residue that could interfere with bonding, scanning, or impression materials. Its green or blue colour also makes it easy to confirm complete removal.
Does TransAfrica Medical provide clinical training?
Yes. Through the TransAfrica Academy, we provide hands-on restorative dentistry courses covering tissue management, digital impressions, adhesive procedures, and the proper use of Parkell clinical materials.
