Heraeus has launched Gluma Desensitizer PowerGel, a new one-step gel formula desensitizer that allows for accurate control and placement to reduce or eliminate dentinal hypersensitivity.
"Our no-drip formula offers easier control of placement," explained Robert Marus, DDS, in a press release. "It stays where you place it, minimizing the possibility of touching soft tissue."
The new Gluma Desensitizer PowerGel delivers the same level of desensitization as Gluma liquid but also offers better handling, easier control, and greater accuracy, due to both its unique gel consistency and green color indication, which allows the practitioner to see where the material is being placed, the company said. No agitation or light curing is required.
The gel is indicated for the reduction or elimination of pain caused by hypersensitivity in exposed cervical areas that do not require restorations. It is also indicated in use for reduction or elimination of dentin sensitivity after preparation of teeth to receive fixed prosthesis or restorations.
