Super Etch
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.
37% wt phosphoric acid
30 to 40% wt phosphoric acid optimally etches in 15 to 20 seconds. 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.
Super Etch syringe tips
Super Etch tips – 23 gauge straight tips.
In conjunction with all:

Leave on
a. enamel for at least 30 seconds.
b. dentin and glass ionomer liner for 20 seconds
2. Clean the surface to be etched using a non-fluoridated, oil-free prophylaxis paste, or a pumice and water slurry.
3. Rinse thoroughly with water.
4. Thoroughly dry the surface to be etched with dry, oil-free air.
5. CAUTION: DO NOT dispense Super Etch LV without a dispensing tip on. Only use the pre-bent tips supplied. Before dispensing, slightly pull the plunger backward (~1mm) and then push forward.
Note: on first usage, or after prolonged storage, extrude a small amount onto a mixing pad for familiarity with the etchant’s viscosity and rate of extrusion.
6. Leave on
a. enamel for at least 30 seconds.
b. dentin and glass ionomer liner for 20 seconds
7. Rinse well with water for 5-10 seconds.
8. Remove excess water.
9. Apply bonding agent, such as Stae, or pit and fissure sealant, such as Conseal f, according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Storage:
Store at cool and dry place
