Clinical Overview
Desensibilize KF 0.2% is a low-viscosity gel combining 5% potassium nitrate (neural effect) and 0.2% sodium fluoride (occlusive action) to provide comfort for mild to moderate dentinal hypersensitivity. It is designed for patient self-application at home using whitening trays, ensuring sustained efficacy during or after bleaching or periodontal therapy.
Key Benefits
- Dual desensitizing mechanism: Potassium nitrate targets nerve response; fluoride occludes tubules for lasting relief.
- Low-viscosity consistency: Adheres evenly in trays without dripping or pooling.
- Tray-compatible delivery: Designed for patient use at home via custom or stock bleaching trays.
- Non‑interfering with whitening: Does not reduce bleaching effectiveness or prolong procedure times.
- Easy, one-time application: Prefilled dual-action syringe plus tip simplifies home use.
