DeOx Viscous Oxygen Barrier Solution

Composition & Appearance:

• Type: Barrier Solution
• Base: Glycerin
• Consistency: Viscous
• Appearance: Clear

Function:

• Primary Use: Prevents formation of an oxygen inhibition layer during the polymerization of resin materials.

Indications:

• Application Areas: Ideal for areas where composite or luting cement is contoured close to final dimensions.
• Benefits: Prevents negative voids or contour inaccuracies by allowing precise removal of luting resins before curing, thereby reducing excess cured composite or cement.

Procedure:

1. Restoration Placement: Apply DeOx after placing but before curing composite restorations or luting.
2. Application: Use a syringe with a Luer Lock cap and disposable tip for application.
3. Coverage: Ensure complete coverage of exposed resin, focusing on margins and embrasures.
4. Curing: Follow manufacturer’s instructions for polymerization.
5. Removal: Excess solution can be removed using air/water spray.

Precautions & Warnings:

• Professional Use: Intended strictly for professional dental use.
• Allergy Precautions: Not suitable for patients with sensitivity to ingredients.
• Expiration Date: Adherence to the expiration date is crucial.
• Disposable Tips: Single-use to prevent cross-contamination.
• Syringe Handling: Requires disposable covers and disinfectant wiping, or consider as single-use.

Conclusions:

• Problem Addressed: DeOx effectively resolves issues related to the oxygen inhibition layer that can affect the integrity and aesthetics of resin-based dental restorations.
• Benefits for Dentists: Simplifies the finishing process of restorations by allowing better control over the final contours and reducing the need for extensive post-curing adjustments.
• Patient Impact: Ensures higher quality and durability of restorations, improving patient satisfaction with the final outcome.
• Usage Efficiency: Its precise application method and clear instructions make it a user-friendly solution, enhancing procedural efficiency in dental practices.
