Clinical Tips

• Use a tiny brush or cotton tip applicator for application.
• Isolate the area well, so that the material is not diluted.
• We place it in the short side of the Dappen dish and apply it with a white microbrush.
• Let patients know that the relief from sensitivity will increase with repeated at-home applications.

Description

UNO Gel is a topical desensitizing gel that contains “Bioschell,” which binds to dentin and enamel, attracts calcium and phosphate, and occludes dentinal tubules; the gel also contains 10% xylitol. UNO Gel is clear, odorless, tasteless, and non-irritating to gingival tissue. It is quick and easy to dispense and apply. When used in-office, a thin uniform layer should be applied and left in place for 2-4 minutes, after which patients should not rinse, eat or drink for 10 minutes. For at-home use, the gel may be applied twice-daily with a clean finger, after brushing, and the patient should not rinse or eat/drink anything for at least 10 minutes after application. UNO Gel is delivered in a pump dispensing system, and supplied in a 30mL bottle for home use.

Indications

• In-office management of hypersensitivity, including before and after dental procedures.
• At-home treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity.
