Preventing Hypersensitivity with Just One Drop

Lee Ann Brady, DMD, owner of Desert Sun Smiles in Glendale, Arizona, on Kulzer’s GLUMA® Desensitizer

1. For more than 20 years and almost 50 million restorations, GLUMA has been the gold standard in stopping and preventing hypersensitivity. One drop of GLUMA is all you need, and the result is fast and effective-no mixing, no curing, and no repetitive steps. 2. The new "drop control" bottle design delivers just the right amount of material needed with no waste. 3. With the same proven efficacy as GLUMA Desensitizer, GLUMA^® Desensitizer PowerGel is a unique, one-step gel formula desensitizer that facilitates greater control and accuracy during application. In addition, its unique green color provides a visual cue to improve accuracy during placement as well as ensure that it is completely rinsed away following use.

How does GLUMA prevent postoperative sensitivity? It prevents sensitivity with its antimicrobial properties and by blocking the dentinal tubules.

What other property of GLUMA has kept you using it? It is a fantastic rewetting agent, so I get great hybrid zone development for maximum bond strengths.

Does GLUMA last a long time? Yes. It minimizes the production of matrix metalloproteinases, which increases the longevity of adhesively placed restorations.
