TEETHMATE DESENSITIZER treats sensitive teeth effectively and—for the first time—naturally. The launchofthisnewmaterialthusrepresentsthebirth of a revolutionary material class. Kuraray Noritake Dental designed TEETHMATE DESENSITIZER to create the human body’s hardest mineral, hydroxyapatite (HAp). It is created exactly where you need it, closing dentinal tubules and enamel cracks. And because it is natural, it is tissue- friendly. So from now on, you can treat sensitivity with confidence. TEETHMATE DESENSITIZER actually crystallises HAp from the bottom up, nicely sealing dentinal tubules and enamel cracks. The newly created HAp acts as if it were the patient’s own. HAp was built with the right calcium–phosphate ion ratio and the right pH, combined with Kuraray Noritake Dental’s special technology. The only thing you need to do is apply it to one or more teeth. And there is no need to protect the gingiva because our HAp is tissue-friendly. It takes onlyafeweasysteps:mixthepowderandliquid,rub itontothetoothandrinseitoffwithwater.Patients will love the neutral taste and the invisible result. Andmostofall,patientswillenjoytheirteethagain. Untilnow,oftenmorethanonetreatmentmethod has been needed to deal with tooth sensitivity. Only TEETHMATEDESENSITIZERprovidestherealsolution. Use it to close exposed or prepared dentine. Treat patients’ teeth directly before and after whitening. Or use TEETHMATE DESENSITIZER in combination with your preferred adhesive or cement. Thanks to the creation of HAp, treatment for sensitivity is now smart, invisible and durable.
