GLUMA
®
Desensitizer
Composition
• (2-hydroxyethyl)methacrylate • glutardialdehyde • purified water
Applications
GLUMA Desensitizer is used for the treatment of hypersensitive dentine. It achieves its effects by
precipitation of plasma proteins, which reduces dentinal permeability and occludes the peripheral
dentinal tubules. This inhibits the flow of fluid through the tubules which is the cause of sensitivity.
GLUMA Desensitizer is used:
• to eliminate pain in exposed cervical areas not requiring restoration,
• to alleviate or prevent dentinal sensitivity after preparation of teeth to receive indirect restorations.
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 desensitiz-
ing 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.
