Gumshield is an innovative blue-coloured dental material designed to serve as a protective barrier for the gingiva (gums) during a variety of dental procedures. Made from a light-curing resin-based material, it offers a reliable seal and effectively isolates the gingival tissues from the rest of the oral cavity. The gumshield is conveniently packaged in an easy-to-use syringe delivery system, allowing for precise application and optimal control. By effectively shielding the delicate gingiva, Gumshield minimizes the risk of contamination, irritation, and discomfort for the patient especially during bleaching.

One of the key advantages of Gumshield is its ease of removal. The material can be gently peeled away from the gums and inter-dental spaces without causing any damage or leaving residue behind. This ensures a comfortable and efficient experience for both the patient and the dental professional.

Indications :

• Gumshield is indicated for creating a protective barrier on the gingival surface to safeguard it during a wide range of dental procedures.
• It is commonly utilized in dental treatments such as teeth whitening (bleaching), placement of composite fillings.
• It is especially useful when restorative materials need to be placed in close proximity to the gum line, ensuring a clean and isolated working area.

Contraindicatins :

• Do not use Gumshield resin-based barrier on patients with known sensitivity to methacrylates or other resins.
