Desensitizer

• Desensitise: GLUMA is the only desensitise that has been proven to penetrate exposed dentinal tubules up to 200 μm. This leads to the formation of multilayered protein walls which prevent an osmotic fl uid exchange with the internal tubules
• Block bacteria: GLUMA forms a hermetic seal which traps the bacteria and prevents bacterial growth
• Re-wetting: GLUMA reorganises collapsed collagen fi bres and thus improves the adhesiveness of several adhesives.

HOW IT WORKS:

Desensitises:

GLUMA is the only desensitiser proven to penetrate exposed dentinal tubuli up to 200 μm. The result is the formation of multiple layers of protein septa that prevent intertubular fluid movements due to osmotic changes.

Inhibits bacteria:

GLUMA provides a hermetic seal that acts as a microbial barrier, inhibiting bacterial growth.

Re-wet:

GLUMA resurrects collapsed collagenous fibres, improving the bond strength of many adhesives.

DIRECTIONS TO USE :

• Dosage and Administration

  Treatment of hypersensitive dentine

  The treatment of hypersensitive dentinal surfaces is only indicated in cases of severe pain in reactions to thermal, osmotic or tactile stimuli. In cases of mild pain, alternative treatments such as desensitizing toothpastes should be used.

  • Clean the dentine (e.g. with cleansing pumice), under local anaesthesia if necessary, and then rinse off with water.
  • Protect mucous membranes by using a rubber dam. Make sure that GLUMA Desensitizer only comes into contact with the area to be treated.
  • Apply the smallest possible amount of GLUMA Desensitizer required for treatment to the dentinal surface using pellets or brushes and then leave for 30 – 60 seconds
  • Then dry the surface carefully by applying a stream of compressed air until the fluid film has disappeared and the surface is no longer shiny. Then rinse thoroughly with water
  • Deep cavities and/or areas near the pulp should be covered with a suitable cavity lining before the desensitizer is applied.

  If a single application of GLUMA Desensitizer does not produce sufficient and sustained pain relief, the treatment can be repeated at the same or a subsequent appointment before alternative treatments are used.

  Treatment of dentine prepared to receive complete cast restorations

  • Protect mucous membranes by using a rubber dam
  • Remove moisture from the prepared dentine by applying a gentle stream of compressed air.
  • Apply GLUMA Desensitizer with a pellet and leave for 30 – 60 seconds. Make sure that only the smallest possible amount required is applied and that it only comes into contact with the area to be treated
  • Dry the dentinal surface carefully by applying a stream of compressed air, rinse off thoroughly with water and apply suction
  • Cover cavities and/or areas near the pulp with suitable cavity linings before applying the desensitizer.
