Glu/Sense™ HEMA/Glutaraldehyde desensitizer reduces or eliminates post-operative sensitivity by penetrating and sealing dentin tubules and precipating proteins under restorations. Its no-drip formula provides control and accuracy during placement because it stays where it’s placed. The exclusive SofNeedle™ with its foam tip enables easy and exact placement and complete coverage of dentin. With its 35% HEMA/5% Glutaraldehyde gel formulation, Glu/Sense acts in seconds to seal out post-op sensitivity. It is compatible with most cements and dentin bonding agents. On etched enamel, Glu/Sense acts as a “wetting agent” helping to prevent collagen fibers from collapsing.
IDEAL APPLICATIONS:
Kit contains 6 x 1.0ml syringes + 60 SofNeedle Tips

How does it work?
The glutaraldehyde in GluSense "coagulates proteins" deep within the tubules. This along with the HEMA, seals the tubules and blocks outside stimuli (cold, pressure, etc) from reaching the nerve ending.
Is smear layer removal required prior to using GluSense?
No. GluSense is effective with or without smear layer removal. The only time removal is required is if the other materials (for example, a bonding agent) used in the procedure required it.
Should GluSense be applied to areas with exposed pulp?
No, avoid contact of GluSense Desensitizer with soft tissue.
Does the tooth require drying prior to application?
No. The tooth can be moist prior to application. Desiccation of exposed dentin can contribute to sensitivity, and should be avoided. After GluSense Application, the tubules are sealed, and the tooth may be thoroughly dried if necessary.
Are there any precautions to take with GluSense?
Yes. Avoid contact with soft tissues. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Is light curing required?
No. Simply apply in a gentle rubbing motion for 30 seconds and dry.
Can it be used with any restorative materials?
Yes.
Does GluSense interfere with cements?
No. GluSense Desensitizer does not interfere with currently available cements.
