A flowable etch that reaches the fissure and stays put

Blue Etch Flow is Cerkamed's 36% orthophosphoric acid in a semi-solid, thixotropic gel: it flows into a fissure under the applicator and stops flowing when the applicator stops. Cerkamed's intended use: "etching dentine and enamel fissures prior to composites and cavity seals", and "also recommended for use before cementing glass fibre crown and root inlays". The 10 ml is a reservoir syringe with a dispenser to fill from it.

What it is for

›  Cerkamed: "Apply a thin layer of the etchant onto the dried surface. Etch no longer than 60 seconds. Irrigate with a strong air stream and water (about 15-20 seconds). Do not over-dry." And if the enamel is not clean, repeat.

›  On the consistency, Cerkamed: "With its carefully formulated semi-solid consistence, BLUE ETCH FLOW reaches inaccessible dental grooves and fissures."

›  If the gel is slow to pump into the dispenser, Cerkamed: "move the plunger of the syringe with the product several times. The preparation will dilute due to its thixotropic properties."

›  Cerkamed: "Causes severe skin burns and eye damage." Cofferdam, gloves, goggles; and their note that etchants "may involve with post-operative hypersensitivity, resulting in temporary pain".

›  Cerkamed mark the product "TO BE USED BY DENTIST ONLY".

Where does an etch sit in an endodontic catalogue?

At the end of the case. The coronal seal goes on etched enamel, and a fibre post goes into an etched canal – Cerkamed name "glass fibre crown and root inlays" as an indication. It also earns its place next to Rubber-Dam Liquid, since a gingival barrier goes on before the etch does.
