Waldent Porcelain Etch is a high-quality, professional-grade product designed for dental procedures requiring precise adhesion to porcelain surfaces. This innovative etching gel is used to prepare porcelain restorations, such as crowns, veneers, and bridges, by creating micro-roughened surfaces that enhance bonding strength.

Waldent Porcelain Etch is formulated with hydrofluoric acid, allowing effective etching without compromising the integrity of the restoration. The gel consistency ensures controlled application, reducing mess and ensuring uniform coverage. Ideal for use in restorative dentistry, this product promotes durable and reliable adhesive bonds, enhancing the longevity and performance of porcelain dental restorations.

• Application:
  • Dispense a small amount of Waldent Porcelain Etch gel on restoration using the precision applicator tip.
  • Apply a uniform layer of gel over the porcelain surface that requires etching. Be careful to avoid contact with adjacent tissues or areas that do not require etching.
• Etching Time:
  • Allow the etch to remain on the surface for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the specific requirements of the procedure and the thickness of the porcelain.
  • Note: The etching time should not exceed the recommended duration, as over-etching may compromise the porcelain’s integrity.
• Rinse and Dry:
  • After the etching time, thoroughly rinse the porcelain surface with water for at least 20-30 seconds to remove all traces of the etching gel.
  • Dry the surface with a clean air syringe or paper towel. Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding with bonding or cementation.
• Proceed with Bonding:
  • Once the porcelain surface is etched and dried, proceed with the application of the bonding agent, adhesive, or resin cement according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Safety Precautions:
  • Avoid direct contact with the skin or eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with water and seek medical attention if necessary.
  • Always follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines and recommendations during handling and use.
