Consultants’ Comments

• “Easy application after etching, prior to bonding material for all fillings.”
• “The application of the material appears to have assisted with sensitivity and it does remove easily.”
• “I like the active ingredients in the product. I also like the color and consistency.”
• “I found it helpful when I used in Class V.”
• “The liquid form that is easier to manipulate and make sure proper coverage is achieved.”

Description

MicroPrime G Gel is a desensitizing agent that contains both glutaraldehyde and HEMA to facilitate patient post-operative comfort. The gel is applied with a flocked applicator tip to make placement of the material easier. It works with most all cements and dentin bonding agents while not affecting their bond strength.

Unique Attributes

• Contains glutaraldehyde and HEMA
• Facilitates patient comfort
• Compatible with popular adhesive systems, cements, and substrates
• Antimicrobial

Clinical Tips

• Use with rubber dam, if possible, to avoid soft tissue contact as it may burn the soft tissues
• Proper suction and isolation of the area is advised as the gel does need to be rinsed well after placement
• Express a small amount into the base of the preparation, and use the brush applicator to spread material
• Use plenty of the gel; use the tip to swirl it around to cover the prep entirely
• Do not dry teeth completely
• Use full 30 seconds to scrub and apply two layers

Indications

• Nonbonded and bonded applications
• Placement under dental cements or other restorative materials-temporary, provisional or final
• May be used to eliminate post-operative sensitivity under amalgam restorations
• Assists dentin bonding agents by supporting the collagen framework, thus making it easier for the adhesive to penetrate the tooth
