It can also be used prior to sealing dentin tubules. Recent studies have suggested that this cleansing step reduces micro leakage sensitivity in teeth undergoing treatment or restoration. Sodium fluoride has been included in the formula for Pulpdent Cavity Preparation Ill to enhance the stability of the solution. Pulpdent makes no therapeutic claim with regard to the addition of fluoride.
