What is the active ingredient in Gluma desensitizer?

glutaraldehyde
Gluma desensitizer is an aqueous solution containing 5% glutaraldehyde and 35% hydroxyethyl methacrylate. Because glutaraldehyde is a biological fixative, it has been suggested that the dentinal tubules are occluded as an effect of reaction with plasma proteins from dentinal fluid.

How do you use Gluma desensitizer?

Apply GLUMA Desensitizer and GLUMA Desensitizer PowerGel for an application time of 30 – 60 seconds. Air dry the liquid GLUMA Desensitizer until the gloss of the liquid disappears. Rinse off GLUMA Desensitizer and GLUMA Desensitizer PowerGel completely with plenty of water.

Does Gluma need to be light cured?

GLUMA does not need to be stirred or light cured, simplifying application and saving time. Desensitize: GLUMA is the only desensitizer that has been proven to penetrate exposed dentinal tubules up to 200 μm1.

Does Gluma stain teeth?

Will it stain the tooth? GLUMA Desensitizer PowerGel contains pigments to ease its application. It does not stain the tooth if it dwells on the tooth for a maximum of 60s.

How does one drop of Gluma desensitizer work?

For over 20 years, one drop of GLUMA has been sufficient to reduce and prevent hypersensitivity. The results are quick and effective, without mixing, curing or multiple applications. Your patients feel immediate relief.

How long does Gluma desensitizer Powergel last?

How long does the desensitizing effect of GLUMA Desensitizer/GLUMA Desensitizer PowerGel last? A recently published clinical study revealed a reduction of dentine hypersensitivity by GLUMA Desensitizer for at least 18 months 9 .

Which is the only desensitizer that does not need to be stirred?

GLUMA does not need to be stirred or light cured, simplifying application and saving time. Desensitize: GLUMA is the only desensitizer that has been proven to penetrate exposed dentinal tubules up to 200 μm 1.

How does Gluma desensitize the dentinal tubules?

Desensitize: GLUMA is the only desensitizer that has been proven to penetrate exposed dentinal tubules up to 200 μm1. This leads to the formation of multilayered protein walls which prevent an osmotic fluid exchange with the internal tubules. Block bacteria: GLUMA forms a hermetic seal which traps the bacteria and prevents bacterial growth2.
