TEETHMATE™ DESENSITIZER wins Dental Advisor’s Top Product Award for the eighth time in a row

Hypersensitivities make patients suffer, no matter what their cause is. Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.’s TEETHMATE™ DESENSITIZER is the solution for all of them. Designed to crystallize hydroxyapatite (HAp) from the ground up, the material effectively and durably occludes exposed dentinal tubules and enamel cracks. The tubules may be exposed due to gingival recession, dental erosion or excessive toothbrushing, professional tooth cleaning, scaling and root planning, tooth whitening or restorative procedures. TEETHMATE™ DESENSITIZER provides lasting hypersensitivity relief in all those cases – a fact that is surely one of the reasons for its winning of a Dental Advisor award for the eighth consecutive year.

Consisting of natural calcium and phosphate, the product may even be applied to freshly prepared tooth structure without negatively affecting the bond strength of subsequently utilized dental adhesives or cements.

The consultants of the Dental Advisor conducted a six-month clinical study to be able to evaluate the performance of TEETHMATE™ DESENSITIZER. They selected 27 patients with hypersensitivity issues in their dental practices. Thermal testing with cold air was used to identify the affected teeth, 54 of which were included in the evaluation. For the initial assessment, patients were asked to evaluate their level and frequency of hypersensitivity per tooth on a five-point scale (1 = severe, persistent sensitivity to 5 = no sensitivity). Subsequently, TEETHMATE™ DESENSITIZER was applied according to the instructions for use. Sensitivity was evaluated again immediately after the treatment and six months later. At baseline, 91 percent of the patients stated that they had no or only mild, sporadic sensitivity, which was still the case for 85 percent after six months. This indicates that the product is very effective in providing immediate and even long-term hypersensitivity relief.

Hence, it is not surprising that TEETHMATE™ DESENSITIZER has been among the winners of the Dental Advisor’s Top Product Award every year between 2015 and 2022.

Study results that confirm the material’s effectiveness in reducing pre- and post-operative sensitivity in the context of tooth whitening¹ and indirect restoration procedures² are also available, so that users can count on a reliable performance in a wide range of indications.
