Why is Rubber Dam recommended for the application of Gluma Desensitiser and Gluma Desensitiser PowerGel?

Rubber Dam protects the oral soft tissue

GLUMA Desensitizer and GLUMA Desensitizer PowerGel contain glutardialdehyde. This agent is very effective in the coagulation of proteins, providing the desired result within the dentine tubuli. However, it also reacts with oral soft tissue when it comes in contact with gingiva or mucosa. This may cause temporary local irritations or necrosis of the soft tissue. To avoid any contact with oral soft tissue, rubber dam needs to be applied.
