Semi-Gel Phosphoric Acid Dentin/Enamel Etchants GENERAL INFORMATION |
|
| BISCO semi-gel ETCHANTS are phosphoric acid (H3PO4),
polymer-thickened formulations intended for use on enamel
and dentin. These ETCHANTS will effectively remove the
smear layer, etch and demineralize enamel and dentin,
producing the necessary microretentive surface for successful
bonding. Our specially formulated (proprietary) etchant
gel leaves no silica residue. ETCH-37 is 37% H3PO4 and most effective at quickly etching enamel and dentin. UNI-ETCH is 32% H3PO4 and effective at etching enamel and dentin.These ETCHANTS can be used exclusively or in combination. The polymer thickener creates thixotropic properties, enhancing handling characteristics. The etchant rinses away cleanly and quickly, leaving no residue. Published research proves that BISCO ETCHANTS produce higher bond strengths to (wet or dry) dentin1 and enamel. BISCO ETCHANTS are also available with benzalkonium chloride (BAC), an antimicrobial agent. Research confirms the development of residual bacterial inhibition zones of up to 7mm, when challenged with Streptococcus Mutans and Actinomyces Viscosus2.
1. Isolate tooth and prepare the cavity in a conservative
manner. Clean the entire surface with a slurry of pumice
and water.
2. Apply etchant  using an EZ-DOSE TIP, a disposable syringe
tip, or disposable brush tip. Allow
etchant to remain in place for 15 seconds. Etching time
should be monitored with a stopwatch. Begin timing at
the end of application. Option: Place etchant on enamel
first, then proceed to cover dentin, for a slightly
longer enamel etching time. 3. Rinse thoroughly (at least 5 seconds) to completely remove all traces of etchant. 4. For best results, do not allow enamel or dentin to dry for an excessive period of time. Immediately re-wet enamel and dentin with an wetting agent such as AQUA-PREP™* F prior to application of hydrophilic adhesive resin systems such as ALL-BOND 2®*, ALL-BOND 3® or ONE-STEP®*/ONE-STEP PLUS. STORAGE: Store at room temperature (20°C/68°F - 25°C/77°F). Refer to individual
component labels for specific expiration dates. WARRANTY: BISCO,
