Description

SPHERILEX® 148 has been designed to have a spherical particle shape, a small particle size, and a narrow particle size distribution. The spherical particle shape is very well suited to reside in spherical dentin tubules. Approximately 40 % of the spherical particles are smaller than dentin tubules, and laboratory studies have shown the product has a higher affinity for occluding bovine dentin tubules compared to traditional, non-spherical precipitated silicas. SPHERILEX® 148 also provides high levels of cleaning at low loading levels and has been shown to have reduced wear on enamel surfaces (REA). It is recommended the product should be used at 2 – 5% loading in conjunction with standard ZEODENT® products.

Tooth sensitivity is a common problem according to the American Dental Association, with almost 50% of the population not being able to fully enjoy eating ice cream or taking a sip of their hot coffee. This can be caused by gum recession as a result of age, erosion caused by acidic beverages, teeth grinding, and other medical conditions, leaving the dentin of the tooth exposed. Based on the Brännström’s Hydrodynamic Theory, without protection, fluids will travel through the tubules of dentin, stimulating nerves and causing pain.
