Etching Agents for Enamel and Dentin for Dentists

For enamel and dentin etching, various etching agents are used for the chemical pre-treatment of the dentin surface. The etching gel or liquid typically contains 35% phosphoric acid and is applied thinly to the tooth. After a short drying period, the mineral-depleted dentin remains, making it suitable for the application of primers, bonding agents, and restorative materials such as composite.


Adhesive Technique

The adhesive technique in dentistry refers to a bonding method used when placing composites or crowns. After the cavity has been cleared of caries, the tooth surface must be treated with a special acid. The phosphoric acid roughens the enamel and removes the smear layer from the dentin. However, the acid should only remain on the tooth for a few seconds and then be thoroughly rinsed off with water and air. Depending on the system, a one- or two-component bonding resin is then applied to the cavity.

Acid-Etch Technique

The acid-etch technique is used in dental practice for restorative therapy or caries prevention (fissure sealing). It creates a bond between the resin and the enamel. Since the natural enamel surface is relatively smooth and low in structure, the resin would not adhere without prior etching. By chemically removing the superficial enamel layer with phosphoric acid, a rough, microporous enamel surface is created, allowing the filling material to bond to the tooth. For optimal results, a 30-second etching time is recommended. The acid should then be carefully rinsed off completely using an air/water spray. The tooth should be kept dry afterward, and absolute isolation can be achieved with a rubber dam. For successful treatment, the etched surface must not come into contact with saliva, mucosa, or fingers, as this would damage the etched layer and compromise adhesion.

In our shop, you will find a variety of etching gels for enamel and dentin etching, as well as application cannulas for precise dosing.

Gels & Liquids for the Dental Practice

The materials for dental treatment are available either as a gel or a liquid. The iBOND Self-Etch Gel, based on 35% orthophosphoric acid, is coloured blue for better visibility. It is applied in a single layer to the tooth and still provides reliable adhesion to enamel and dentin. Thanks to the homogeneous layer, the one-component bonding agent does not need to be blown away. With iBOND Self-Etch, you can etch, prime, bond, and desensitise in just one step.

The practical applicator syringe makes application easy and user-friendly. For those who prefer to work with an etching liquid, Vococid is an ideal etching liquid. Vococid is perfect for enamel etching or total-etch techniques.

The liquid, based on 36.1% phosphoric acid, is available in 2 bottles of 3 ml each and is suitable for conditioning dentin in adhesive procedures. Application is performed using practical tips, and the blue colour ensures precise control during application.

In our online shop, you will find etching gels from renowned manufacturers such as Voco, HARVARD Dental, and 3M Espe, as well as suitable accessories like applicator tips and dappen dishes.
