Ivoclar Vivadent Total Etch - Assortment & Refill
Total Etch by Ivoclar Vivadent is an etching gel containing 37% phosphoric acid. It is used to etch enamel and dentin to create a strong bond. It can be used in conjunction with sealants, direct restorative materials and also for adhesive bonding of indirect restorations such as all ceramic crowns. The gel has a consistent viscosity unlike other etching gels in which the viscosity may be impaired when the material is pressed through the tight nozzle of the dispensing tip. The ideal viscosity of the etching gel ensures that the material does not become runny and increases difficulty of application. This is ensured by a special filler composition. The bright blue colour of the gel provides a high degree of contrast to the tooth which aids in easy identification after rinsing. This minimizes the risk of over-etching. The delivery syringe has an octagonal shape facilitating application and ensures that the syringe does not roll away. The angled metal tip ensures exact application of the gel. A special displacer has been incorporated to prevent material wastage. The product is available in a Jumbo syringe used to refill syringes, which offers a cost-effective solution while keeping adequate amounts of the etching gel in stock. The Luer Lock system, enhances the tight lock
