Again, do not completely dry the tooth as the collagen layers will need some moisture to help pull the primer/resin down into the dentinal tubiles. Such a process might be useful for remineralizing dental carious lesions or for occluding open dentinal tubules as a treatment for dental hypersensitivity. When applied, the tooth's open and exposed dentinal tubules are plugged and sealed, thereby reducing or eliminating sensitive teeth. |
