Its formula of 5% [[glutaraldehyde]] and 35% HEMA ([[hydroxyethyl]] [[methacrylate]]) in [[water]] is used to help control both hypersensitive [[dentin]] and reduce the incidence of post-operative sensitivity in restorative [[dentistry]] procedures. It’s also useful as a cavity [[disinfectant]], a [[rewetting]] agent and an [[adhesion]] promoter (when combined with most dentin bonding systems). The Gluma formula is under patent protection. Therefore, no other desensitizing agents on the market can have the same formula or work exactly like it. Gluma is manufactured and produced by the [[Heraeus Kulzer]], a German [[Dentistry|dental]] supply company. ==References== <references/> == External links == * [http://www.heraeus-kulzer-us.com/ Heraeus Kulzer] * [http://www.heraeus-kulzer.com.br Heraeus Kulzer South America] * [http://www.dent.ohio-state.edu/materials/Liners/Gluma/gluma.html Gluma Desensitizer] [[Category:Disinfectants]]
