The teeth are actually all right – no untreated
caries – but still a brief, extremely intensive pain
is felt as soon as the teeth come in contact
with ice, ice-cold drinks or a cold draught.
Hypersensitive dentine means a significant impairment of quality of life for the sufferer.

This discomfort is caused by exposed dentine.
Normally dentine is protected by dental enamel.
However, over the course of time, this can be
worn away, e.g. by the wrong tooth brushing
or by eating acidic foods.
Defects in the dental enamel can often be found
on the tooth neck. Once the gum has receded
dentine is often exposed at enamel- root cement transition.

Dentine is infused with numerous channels
(dentintubuli). If these channels are exposed,
certain stimuli cause this stabbing pain.

HYPOSEN Desensitizer provides relief here
by sealing the dentin channels. The solution
is applied by the dentist and bonds with
inorganic substances in the dental
channels and seals them by forming a plug.
HYPOSEN protective varnish should be applied
for temporary protection until the plug has
stabilised to improve the effect.

It may be necessary to apply HYPOSEN
2-3 times at first, thereafter a half-yearly
application is usually sufficient to eliminate or
significantly relieve the complaints.
