Provided is a curable composition that has a sufficient pot life and does not cause a significant delay in curing time even after long-term storage at room temperature or higher. A separately packed curable composition includes: (A) a first pack containing: (a1) a polymerizable monomer having no acidic group, (b) a polymerizable monomer having an acidic group, and (c) a transition metal compound; and (B) a second pack containing: (a2) a polymerizable monomer having no acidic group, (d) an aromatic amine compound, and (e) at least one compound selected from sulfinic acid and a salt thereof.

A dissolving gingival retraction cord apparatus for minimizing gum irritation includes a container body having a container bottom side, a container sidewall, and an open container top side defining a container inside. A gel solution is coupled within the container body. A lid is coupled to the container body with a dispense aperture extending therethrough. A spool is coupled to the lid and is submerged within the gel solution when the lid is engaged with the container body. A retraction cord is windingly coupled around the spool and has a cord distal end extending through the dispense aperture of the lid. The retraction cord absorbs, or is coated with, the gel solution. The retraction cord is dissolvable after installation within a person's gum tissue.
