Treatment of Hypersensitive dentine

The treatment of hypersensitive dentinal surfaces is only indicated in cases of severe pain in reactions to thermal, osmotic or tactile stimuli. In cases of mild pain, alternative treatments such as desensitizing toothpastes should be used.

• Clean the dentine (e.g., with cleansing pumice) under local anaesthesia if necessary, and then rinse off with water.
• Protect mucous membranes from contact with the product by using a rubber dam.
• Apply the smallest possible amount of D Sens G + required for one treatment to the dentinal surface with a pellet or brush and then leave for 30-60 seconds.
• Then rinse thoroughly with water and apply suction.
• In the case of deep cavity preparations in close proximity to the pulp or a direct pulpal exposure, cover the dentine or the exposure locally with a calcium hydroxide liner covered with a glass ionomer cement before applying the D Sens G +.

If a single application of D Sens G + does not produce sufficient and sustained pain relief, the treatment can be repeated at the same or a subsequent appointment before alternative treatments are used.
