Why is Etch-37thixotropic viscosity significant?
BISCO’s semi-gel etchants (i.e., Etch-37) utilize a polymer to create thixotropic properties and enhance handling characteristics. It is more versatile than thicker gel etchants because it can be easily manipulated into small areas such as endodontically treated root canals and undercuts.
Can Etch-37be used with any other tips than the 25-gauge blue tips that are provided?
It is recommended to use the tips that arrive with the product, which have been tested for optimal dispensing. The 25-gauge tip should be used with the 1g syringe, and the 22-gauge tips should be used with the 5g syringe.
