Description:

Gluma Desensitizer PowerGel contains the same active ingredients as traditional Gluma Desensitizer but in a gel form. The glutaraldehyde gel treats dentinal hypersensitivity by precipitating plasma proteins, resulting in decreased permeability and inhibited fluid flow into the dentinal tubules. It is indicated for the treatment of hypersensitive dentin in cervical areas and in teeth prepared for direct or indirect restorations.  Gluma Desensitizer PowerGel is dispensed from a 1 g syringe through a brush-tipped cannula. Application requires isolation of the soft tissue, placing Gluma Desensitizer PowerGel onto the affected area for 30-60 seconds, followed by thorough rinsing. Each package contains four syringes of desensitizer and 20 applicator tips with illustrated instructions. Gluma Desensitizer PowerGel was evaluated by 27 consultants in 476 uses. This desensitizer received an 86% clinical rating.
