What does GLUMA MOA do?

Occludes dentinal tubules by cross-linking tubular proteins
Acts as an anti-bacterial agent
Provides a temporary filling
Whitens teeth

The correct answer is: Occludes dentinal tubules by cross-linking tubular proteins

GLUMA MOA works by occluding dentinal tubules by cross-linking tubular proteins, which helps to prevent sensitivity and discomfort. Option B is incorrect because while GLUMA MOA does have anti-bacterial properties, this is not its primary function. Option C is also incorrect as GLUMA MOA is a bonding agent, not a temporary filling material. Option D is also incorrect as GLUMA MOA is not meant for tooth whitening. Overall, GLUMA MOA's main purpose is to protect the tooth from sensitivity and improve the bond between the restoration material and tooth structure.
