Objective: The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of a polyethylene strip coated with an oxalate-containing gel to occlude patent tubuli in human dentin.

Methods: An in vitro model was adapted from the published literature to create a physiologically relevant microenvironment to study immediate and long-term effects of the strip. Observation techniques included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), SEM of ion-milled surfaces (SEM/FIB), and synchrotron-based x-ray microtomography.
