Description

Gluma Desensitizer

For over 20 years, one drop of GLUMA has been sufficient to reduce and prevent hypersensitivity. The results appear quickly and effectively, without mixing, curing or multiple applications. Your patients feel immediate relief. Every good restoration starts with the GLUMA Desensitizer. Its efficacy has been proven in over 50 million restorations. It can be used with all common adhesives and restoration materials and in every treatment situation. GLUMA neither needs to be stirred or light cured. This simplifies application and saves time.

GLUMA Desensitizer is suitable prior to the placement of direct and indirect restorations. The desensitizer function solely within the dentinal tubuli. Thus, they do not interfere with dental adhesives nor adhesive resin-based luting materials. In combination with adhesives used in total etch or selective enamel etching technique, GLUMA Desensitizer should be applied after phosphoric acid etching. In case of self-etch adhesives, GLUMA Desensitizer is to be applied prior to the adhesive.

How it works

GLUMA is the only desensitiser proven to penetrate exposed dentinal tubuli up to 200μm. 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.

Indications

GLUMA Desensitizer is indicated for the treatment of hypersensitive dentine. They eliminate pain in exposed cervical areas which do not require restoration, and alleviate or prevent dentinal sensitivity after preparing the teeth to receive direct or indirect restorations.

For the reduction or elimination of pain caused by hypersensitivity in exposed cervical areas that do not require restorations, and of dentine sensitivity after preparation of teeth to receive fixed prosthesis or restorations.

Doctor / Assistant – Under every restoration

Use GLUMA® Desensitizer below every restoration – direct and indirect – to ensure your patients the comfort they deserve.

  • Below crowns
  • Bridges
  • Inlays and onlays

Patients will appreciate the fast, effective and long-term results of a comfortable prophylaxis.

  • Tooth neck erosion
  • Exposed dentine
  • Hypersensitive teeth due to gingival recession

Application 

GLUMA Desensitizer should be left on the dentine for 30-60s. Afterwards, it needs to be rinsed off with plenty of water.

Application guide GLUMA Desensitizer

Various studies have confirmed that GLUMA Desensitizer is fully compatible with dental adhesives and luting cements. The bond strength of these materials to the tooth remains on the same level irrespective of whether GLUMA Desensitizer is previously applied on the dentine or not. Some other desensitizing products act only at the tooth surface. This may decrease bond strength to adhesives or cements applied afterwards.1 GLUMA Desensitizer does not interfere with these adhesive materials because they work within the dentinal tubuli.

GLUMA Desensitizer contains glutardialdehyde. This substance is responsible for the effective reduction of dentine hypersensitivity. It is a highly reactive agent able to coagulate proteins. This effect is desired within the dentine tubuli but not on the gingiva and mucosa. We therefore strongly recommend the use of rubber dam. To avoid irritation of oral soft tissues, GLUMA Desensitizer must never touch soft tissue and must be rinsed off with plenty of water by the dentist/dental assistant.

After application on the hypersensitive tooth area, GLUMA Desensitizer needs to be air-dried. This step increases the desensitizing effect. Afterwards, the desensitizer needs to be rinsed off using plenty of water by the dentist/dental assistant.
