Product overview

Inventory ID: 984-0647AA

MicroPrime G Desensitizing Agent is a glutaraldehyde/HEMA-based dental desensitizing agent designed to eliminate post-operative sensitivity in restorative and preventive procedures. Compatible with total-etch and self-etch bonding systems, cements, and amalgam, it can be placed under temporary, provisional, or final restorations to reduce dentinal hypersensitivity. This Complete Buyer's Guide clarifies selection and maintains dependable desensitizing workflows in your practice.

What makes this product stand out?

MicroPrime G is a Gluma-equivalent formula containing 35% HEMA and 5% glutaraldehyde that eliminates post-operative sensitivity and acts as a disinfectant. The glutaraldehyde strengthens the collagen framework for easier adhesive penetration, while HEMA creates tubular occlusion to limit fluid movement in dentinal tubules. MicroPrime G integrates easily into standard restorative protocols for both direct and indirect procedures.

Key advantages include:

  • Enhances bonding between enamel/dentin and composite materials
  • Inactivates MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) to protect collagen fibrils and improve adhesive bond strength
  • Compatible with total-etch and self-etch bonding systems, cements, and amalgam restorations
  • Can be used alone on cervical erosions for immediate desensitization
  • Desensitizing properties last up to 10 years

What is this product made of?

This desensitizing agent contains glutaraldehyde and HEMA. The glutaraldehyde acts as a flocculating agent that strengthens collagen and creates tubular occlusion, limiting fluid movement and reducing postoperative sensitivity without affecting adhesive bond strength. The HEMA component rewets dentin and increases adhesive penetration depth. The formula also contains benzethonium chloride to kill bacteria at the preparation site.

At-a-glance comparison:

  • Primer vs no primer: primers improve surface wetting and bonding performance versus untreated surfaces.
  • Primer vs adhesive alone: primers modify the tooth surface so adhesives can better infiltrate and bond, especially in moist environments.

For dental teams, using MicroPrime G Desensitizing Agent on every vital tooth delivers predictable sensitivity reduction and long-term bond protection across direct and indirect restorations.

What is it used for?

MicroPrime G is used as a desensitizing agent placed under dental cements or restorative materials before bonding to reduce or eliminate postoperative sensitivity.

Common applications include:

  • Enhancing bond strength in composite restorations
  • Conditioning enamel and dentin before adhesive placement
  • Supporting adhesion in Class I, II, III, IV, and V restorations
  • Improving bonding where saliva/moisture control is limited
  • Chairside adhesive workflows requiring predictable bonding

Why you'll appreciate this product

MicroPrime G Desensitizing Agent delivers predictable sensitivity reduction while maintaining efficient restorative protocols.

For your work:

  • The glutaraldehyde/HEMA formula reliably eliminates post-operative sensitivity
  • MMP inactivation protects the dentin-resin interface for long-term bond durability
  • Antibacterial properties disinfect preparation sites at the time of placement
  • Easy integration into standard bonding protocols with a 30-second application

For your practice:

  • Universal compatibility reduces the need for multiple desensitizing products
  • Desensitizing properties lasting up to 10 years reduce patient callbacks for sensitivity
  • The small 10 mL bottle provides efficient chairside dosing with minimal waste
  • Consistent outcomes reduce post-operative sensitivity complaints and remakes

A dependable primer helps support consistent adhesion and long-lasting restorative results.

Sizing & selection

Selecting the right primer and delivery format supports consistent adhesion and clinical performance.

Compatibility with adhesive system:

MicroPrime G is compatible with total-etch and self-etch bonding systems, cements, and amalgam. Verify compatibility with your specific bonding agent and restorative material before use.

Moisture-control needs:

Primers like MicroPrime G help when complete dryness is difficult to achieve. If your cases often involve less-than-ideal isolation, a primer designed for moisture tolerance can improve outcomes.

Application protocol:

Apply this agent using a brush or cotton pellet, avoiding soft tissue. Wait 30 seconds and air-dry before applying the bonding agent. Consistent technique delivers reliable desensitization results.

Packaging and volume:

The 10 mL bottle provides sufficient volume for multiple procedures. Match inventory to case volume and observe the expiration date. The shelf life is three years from manufacture.

When predictable surface conditioning, strong bond performance, and workflow simplicity matter, MicroPrime G Desensitizing Agent is a practical choice.

Explore other options

Many practices use a combination of surface-conditioning products to match case complexity:

  • Enamel/dentin etchants for additional surface preparation
  • Adhesive bonding systems optimized for specific restorative materials
  • Moisture-tolerant primers for sub-optimal isolation situations
  • Universal adhesives that may integrate primer functionalities

Tailoring bonding protocols to material types and procedure expectations helps deliver consistent results.

Care & storage

Store and handle MicroPrime G so it remains effective and safe to use:

  • Store in a cool, dry area away from direct heat and sunlight
  • Keep the bottle tightly closed between uses to preserve the chemistry
  • Use within the manufacturer-recommended time once opened
  • Dispose of unused primer per office and local disposal guidelines
