Hi folks: my good friend Andrew sent me this question today and I dont really do alot of desenstization. Could we provide some insight for him as I dont have any good answers on this. I typically restore the sites with resin as I see under the scope that even at settings below 1 watt that the root surface is etched.

Here is his email……….

Thanks in advance….

Glenn

Hi Glenn,

I am looking through the clinical manual to the Delight. You’ve got some nice photos in there too.

A few questions in root desensitization:

1. In your experience, what settings might be appropriate for root desensitization? Technique in treating in terms of distance and tip used.

2. How long lasting in general?

3. What do you do if root area is adjacent to metal restoration?

Please advise.

Andrew
