How are Dow Synthetic Glycerine products used in dental applications?
Dow Synthetic Glycerine products are used in the field of dentistry as solvents or suspending media for medicinal agents such as antiseptics, oral medications, root canal pastes, polishing compounds, disclosing solutions, mouth washes and stannous fluoride solutions. Glycerine serves as a vehicle for these agents when used locally in and around the mouth, where it acts as a protective film for the skin and mucous membranes. It also lends body, smoothness and palatability to may dental formulations, and contributes to the efficacy of these medicines. Additional dental applications for glycerine include its use in dental impression wax and denture casting materials.
