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.

Indications


• Enamel
• Dentin

In conjunction with all


• Adhesives
• Composites
• Compomers
• Glass ionomers
• Sealants
• Cements

To clean


• Porcelain

 

Blue tint gel
High visibility for precise placement.

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.

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.

Dye free Etchant
A clear dye free 37% liquid etchant is also availale for patients who suffer dye allergies.

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 Low Viscosity (LV)
LV is specialized for sealants with a half gel / half liquid formulation. Super Etch LV’s high flowability achieves greater acid surface contact for deeper etchant penetration into pits and fissures. The deeper acid penetration strengthens the mechanical bond and the retention success of the sealant. Ideal for SDI’s Conseal f and all other sealants.

Super Etch syringe tips
Super Etch LV tips - 27 gauge pre-bent for minute pit and fissure crevasses. Super Etch tips - 23 gauge straight tips.
