Question: 1 / 400

Another name for dentinal sealer is

Adhesive

Desensitizer

A dentinal sealer is a type of material used in dentistry that is placed on the surface of the tooth after it has been prepared for restoration or after a cavity has been filled. It helps to seal the exposed dentin and protect it from further damage. Out of the given options, only the term "desensitizer" accurately describes what a dentinal sealer does. Adhesive, etchant, and bonding agent are all types of dental materials, but they do not necessarily have the same function as a dentinal sealer. For example, an adhesive is used to bond dental restorations, such as crowns or fillings, to the tooth structure. An etchant is used to prepare the tooth surface for bonding and a bonding agent helps to improve the adhesion of restorative materials. Therefore, these options are not correct answers for another name for dentinal sealer
