Itena Ceram Etch Syringe

CERAM-ETCH is a viscous hydrofluoric acid gel indicated for glass-based porcelains and ceramics etching.It will etch ceramics of all types to make a micro-porous surface which gives a strong mechanical interlock with composite resin materials

INDICATIONS:

• Vitreous ceramics crowns
• Veneers and inlays
• For all-ceramic and metal-ceramic fractured crown reparation

• Stays in place
• Preparation of fractured ceramics or metal ceramics
• Preparation of ceramic crowns, veneers and inlay surfaces prior to cementation

COMPOSITION:

• Hydrofluoric acid -9%
• Water -90%
• Thickening agent -1%

Storage

• Do not store above 24°C. Recap after use and keep refrigerated to optimize freshness of the product.

• 2 x 1.2ml Syringes
• 4 x Tips

STEP 1:

• In case of intraoral procedure, isolate the area to be etched with a dam.

STEP 2:

• When preparing fractured porcelain crowns for bonding, abrade the surface of the porcelain with a medium grit bur to remove the glazed surface and to create enough space for a sufficient layer of composite resin. Sandblasting can also be performed. Rinse all debris from the surface with water and dry with moisture and oil free compressed air.

STEP 3:

• Apply CERAM-ETCH to the porcelain surface with a microbrush and leave for 60 seconds.

STEP 4:

• Rinse the porcelain thoroughly with water to completely neutralize the etching agent and dry well. The etched porcelain should have a frosted white appearance. If not, repeat the etching procedure.

NOTE: CERAM-ETCH must be used carefully. Avoid contact with oral soft tissues, eyes and skin. If accidental contact occurs,flush with copious amounts of water and seek medical attention.
