Etchgel is used to increase adhesion between teeth and composite restorations by dissolving the mineral component of teeth, thereby increasing the roughness of the tooth surface.
Based on water, purified and ozonated to international pharmacological standards, which ensures an easy and complete rinsing of the product.
Formulated using natural raw materials, which do not stain teeth.
The product is available in syringes filled with 2,6 g, 6,5 g, 13 g or 60 g of the preparation in the form of gel + applicator tips.
Packages:

Properties:
- Composition: o-phosphoric acid 36%.
- Medical device class IIa
- Etching using Etchgel leads to an increase in surface energy, which significantly improves enamel wettability by a bonding system.
- Etchgel is in the form of gel, which reduces an uncontrolled demineralisation effect of phosphoric acid on hard tooth tissues.
- The gel form ensures constant humidity of the etched surface and prevents blocking of formed microchannels with calcium salts precipitating during the etching process.
- Etchgel can be used for: self and light cured fillings, fissure sealants, stabilisation of teeth: permanent and temporary, fixed orthodontic appliances, preparation of metal surfaces as well as acrylic and composite restorations before using dual-cure resin cements.
- Etchgel can dissolve glass ionomer based liners.
Method of use:
1. Apply a thin layer of Etchgel on a carefully cleaned and dried surface.
2. Leave for approx. 30 s, rinse with a strong stream of water.
3. Dry thoroughly until the enamel is matt-white.
4. Repeat if the enamel has not attained the matt effect or if contamination with saliva occurs.
5. Do not etch for longer than 60 s.
