VivaSens : A liquid desensitizer for the treatment of hyper sensitive tooth root surfaces

Composition
Varnish (Ethanol, Water and Hydroxypropylcellulose) containing potassium fluoride, polyethylenglycol dimethacrylate, and other methacrylates.



Indications
– treatment of hypersensitive cervicals.
– treatment of tooth sensitivities e.g. due to bleaching procedures.
– treatment of sensitivities occurring after professional tooth cleaning, scaling and root- planing procedures.
– dentin-protection below restorative materials

Contraindications
– If a patient is known to be allergic or hypersensitive to any of the material’s ingredients.
– If the sensitivity arises from pulpitis or other dental
disease
– Pulp-capping with VivaSens

Side Effects
In individual cases contact with the mucous membranes
may result in short-term reversible irritation. Certain
ingredients of VivaSens may cause sensitization in
predisposed patients or dental personnel which can lead to
allergic contact dermatitis. In such cases, VivaSens should
not be used.

Interactions
If VivaSens is used to protect dentin before adhesive
restorative treatment, compatibility with the chosen
adhesive must be considered. If used with the Total Etch
adhesive Excite®, VivaSens may be applied after the etching
step and always prior to the adhesive. Interactions with
other Total Etch adhesives (using the same treatment
procedure) are not to be expected but cannot be excluded.
Compatibility with other types of adhesives must be
checked by the user.

Application
VivaSens Free Stand® Single Dose is applied by professional
dental personnel, using the pre-mounted and coated brush
provided. Do not use one single dose for more than one
patient!

Warning
– VivaSens liquid is an irritant. The coating on the
applicator brush is corrosive. Contact with the skin,
mucous membranes and eyes should be avoided.
– If contact with the eyes should occur, rinse immediately
with water and consult a doctor/ophthalmologist.
If the product comes into contact with the skin, wash
thoroughly with soap and water.

methacrylates.
