This document discusses moisture control and soft tissue management in fixed prosthodontics. It begins with an introduction stating that complete control of the operative site is essential during restorative procedures and that gingival tissues must be displaced to access subgingingival margins. It then reviews literature on various retraction techniques and agents. This includes studies on the effects of retraction materials on gingival tissues, techniques to eliminate cords, and comparisons of different retraction methods. The document also covers fluid control measures, chemical agents to reduce moisture, and gingival retraction methods both mechanical and chemical.

should be equal to the mesial–distal
spacing of the two roots.
2. The buccal–lingual jaw distance of the
clamp should be smaller than the
