AcquaSeal™ is an innovative solution proven to reduce tooth sensitivity in general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry procedures. In restorative work, its preventative effects are permanent, while in topical applications it can last up to three months. We recommend using the 10ml bottle of AcquaSeal™ for restorative work such as performing wet, resin based tooth bonding and installing temporary crowns.
Over the last 20 years, the majority of the dental profession has begun to use wet bonding to “cement” restorations to tooth structure. Wet tooth bonding refers to using resin based tooth bonding systems in a wet environment. Because dentin has high water content, it is imperative that these adhesive systems work with it. When the water from the wet, resin based tooth bonding system evaporates, the bond strength is affected, which leads to marginal leakage and an increase in tooth sensitivity. To reduce tooth sensitivity, a second agent is needed to lower surface tension and reintroduce water into the bonding system.
When AcquaSeal™ is used as a wetting agent, as detailed below, it helps form a deep hybrid layer by decreasing surface tension and introducing water back in to the system. AcquaSeal™ has no resins, so it cannot form a hybrid layer on its own. It merely assists the penetration of the resins contained in the separate tooth bonding systems.
Using AcquaSeal™ is an effective way to reduce tooth sensitivity during restorative procedures. Patients experience relief throughout the duration of the procedure, and for months to come. If you are a dental professional, these step-by-step tips will help you reduce patient tooth sensitivity during restorative dental treatments:
The steps for a bonded amalgam are the same as for a bonded permanent restoration. However, most bonding systems (Amalgabond, C&B Metabond) are designed for amalgams are 4-Meta systems, and react unpredictably with products containing hema. These products are not recommended for use with AcquaSeal™.
