Comparative evaluation of gingival displacement and clinical efficacy using polyvinyl siloxane foam and retraction cord systems: A randomized controlled in vivo study
Retraction cords provide greater horizontal displacement but are more time-consuming and traumatic compared to MFC, which is more time-efficient and less invasive. This highlights the need to balance efficacy and efficiency in clinical practice.
