A device for retracting gingival tissue away from a tooth or plurality of teeth prepared to receive a dental prosthesis comprising a retraction material associated with a provisional restoration to be packed into a sulcus associated with the prepared tooth. The device is preferably compressible, deformably rigid, extensile and non-elastic and will not stick to the gingiva or tooth structure thereby allowing for atraumatic removal leaving a dry open sulcus. A method of use is also disclosed.
