37% promotes strong bonding
Super Etch 37% wt phosphoric acid etchant for enamel and dentin. Easily controlled Super Etch gel flows under direction, not under gravity.
SDI's etchant range consists of:
| mL | g | |
|---|---|---|
| Super Etch Gel syringe | 2mL | 2.5g |
| Super Etch Gel syringe | 9.6mL | 12g |
| Etchant Gel bottle | 15mL | 18.75g |
| Super Etch Jumbo syringe | 25mL | 31.25g |
37% wt phosphoric acid
30 to 40% wt phosphoric acid optimally etches in 15 to 20 seconds(1). Lower concentrations require longer contact time, unnecessarily delaying procedures.
No interference with adhesive
Super Etch inorganic silica gel thickener is no obstacle to the adhesive. Other etchants block adhesives with a wax-like polymer residue which can inhibit penetration and bonding.
Thixotropic gel
Super Etch non-slump gel offers precise placement. Agitate the gel to lower its viscosity.
- Blue tint gel
- High visibility for precise placement.
Super Etch
Super Etch creates micropores in the enamel surface and removes the smear layer to unblock dentinal tubules. It promotes adhesive resin penetration and resin tag formation. Super Etch is vital for the restoration's mechanical retention.
Super Etch syringes
Super Etch offers an easy to use, leak free syringe. Direct extrusion facilitates faster procedures, economical dispensing and easier access into difficult to reach areas.
