GLUMA has been sufficient to reduce and prevent hypersensitivity. The results appear quickly and effectively, without mixing, curing or multiple applications. 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.
INDICATIONS:
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.
Use GLUMA below every restoration – direct and indirect – to ensure your patients the comfort they deserve.
Below crowns
Bridges
Inlays and onlays
Veneers and temporaries
Margins around temporary crowns
Below all direct restorations
Desensitise: GLUMA is the only desensitise that has been proven to penetrate exposed dentinal tubules up to 200 μm. This leads to the formation of multilayered protein walls which prevent an osmotic fl uid exchange with the internal tubules
Block bacteria: GLUMA forms a hermetic seal which traps the bacteria and prevents bacterial growth
Re-wetting: GLUMA reorganises collapsed collagen fi bres and thus improves the adhesiveness of several adhesives.
HOW IT WORKS:
Desensitises:
GLUMA is the only desensitiser proven to penetrate exposed dentinal tubuli up to 200 μm. 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.
Harmful, contains glutardialdehyde, 2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate
It is a local irritant and has toxic effects
Appropriate precautions should always be taken before using GLUMA Desensitizer
Only dispense the smallest possible amount necessary for the treatment
Harmful by inhalation
Irritating to respiratory system
Irritating to skin
Risk of serious damage to eyes
May cause sensitization by inhalation
May cause sensitization by skin contact
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice
Wear suitable gloves
Before use, put on the protective goggles and cover the patient’s eyes to protect against splashes of material
Do not breathe vapour/spray
Avoid contact with skin.
GLUMA Desensitizer must not be used:
If the necessary precautions cannot be taken or the specified application technique cannot be used
If the patient is allergic to any of the ingredients contained in GLUMA Desensitizer
If the pain is due to pulpitis,
If the pulp is exposed or the dentine adjacent to the pulp is perforated
