Unique Attributes
- Teeth do not have to be dry to apply – they can be moist.
- Sets quickly in seconds after contact with saliva.
- Enhanced flow characteristics to reach areas that otherwise may be missed.
Clinical Tips
- To achieve optimum sensitivity relief, I found that two applications worked the best.
- If too much is applied, it gets goopy when mixed with saliva. Therefore, when placing make sure to focus on applying a thin coat.
- Be mindful of placement, as it can be a hassle to remove from soft tissues.
