Shield Force® Plus by Tokuyama Dental America

Tooth sensitivity generates pain that begins in the mouth but quickly travels throughout the body. By employing preventive measures, however, oral health professionals can reduce the pain related to tooth sensitivity during every stage of care. Shield Force Plus from Tokuyama is designed to provide instant and long-term protection from tooth sensitivity.

Shield Force Plus light-cure desensitizer quickly and effectively seals the dentin tubules, reducing the pain of sensitivity after the first application. Offering a uniform thin coating, as well as deep penetration into the dentin tubules, this desensitizing agent cross-links to apatite on the tooth surface and calcium ions released from the tooth structure. With each application lasting at least 11⁄2 years*, this product allows patients to experience extended relief from tooth sensitivity.

Patented Technology Packs a Punch

The secret sensitivity-fighting compound in Shield Force Plus is its double-block technology. By sealing the dentin tubules with resin tags that permeate 50 ?m deep, it quickly relieves sensitivity without the assistance of glutaraldehyde. When light-cured, it forms a long-lasting durable shield over the resin tags that blocks sensitivity and also prevents the loss of dentin due to abrasion.

Shield Force Plus has an easy application process, which reduces procedure time.
