  Objectives: The objectives of this in vitro study were to compare the occlusion profile and gingival safety of Predicta™ Bioactive Desensitizer (PBD, parkell, Edgewood, NY, USA), a methacrylate-free, nanohydroxyapatite-based desensitizer with Gluma® desensitizer liquid (GLU, Heraeus Kulzer, Germany). Materials and methods: In this study, occlusal surfaces were prepared from 30 caries-free human molars and were randomly allocated to three groups each consisting of 10 samples. Samples in group A (n=10), group B (n=10) were treated with predicta™ bioactive desensitizer, gluma® desensitizer liquid. Group C (n=10) was the control group and samples in this group were left immersed in artificial saliva. Micromorphological analysis using scanning electron microscope was performed to assess tubular occlusion. A.. View more»
