Giomer varnish containing surface pre-reacted glass fillers
Bioactive Glass Air Polishing
Giomer-based varnish is a light-curable varnish/desensitizer. The surface pre-reacted glass (S-PRG) filler is a bioactive trilaminar structure with a multifunctional glass core embedded in resin matrix. It can release and recharge fluoride ions. When it becomes in contact with the oral fluids, it starts to bind to the collagen fiber and release six different types of ions like fluoride, calcium, phosphate that help in the formation of apatite crystals and seal the open dentinal tubules with a long-lasting effect Brand name: S_PRG (Shofu-Japan)
Bioactive glass powder delivered by standalone air polishing system, is a bioactive material that reacts with saliva to deposit Hydroxycarbonate Apatite crystals (HCA), which is very strong and resilient. The continuous release of calcium ions promotes constant protection and long lasting seal of the tubules. Using the air polishing delivery system helps to provide a huge amount of calcium and phosphate particles at the exposed surface of the tooth. Moreover, the air pressure aids in pushing these particles inside the dentinal tubules to a considerable depth. Air polishing using such powder provides a bifunctional advantage of occluding the dentinal tubules. However, there is limited clinical trials testing the efficacy of the bioactive glass powder air polishing system in minimizing the dentin hypersensitivity
