Description

35% Phosphoric Acid Etchant with Benzalkonium Chloride
Select HV Etch is a superior 35% high viscosity phosphoric etch available with Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC). Select HV Etch is used to condition the tooth structure before bonding adhesives, composites, or sealants. Select HV Etch is specially formulated for maximum working and handling, pin-point placement performance, and eliminating run-on onto the dentin surface.

NOTE: Inclusion of BAC has not been shown to correlate with a reduction in secondary decay in patients. In-vivo clinical studies to evaluate the effects of BAC on oral bacteria or caries have not been performed.

Unique Benefits:

  • Rinses away cleanly and quickly leaving no residue to interfere with bonding
  • Blue in color for easy visualization and contrast
  • Microretentive surface characteristics that are necessary for successful bonding

Clinical Significance:

  • Contains benzalkonium chloride (BAC), an antimicrobial agent. In-vitro research shows it is effective against Streptococcus mutans1,2.

Available with benzalkonium chloride (BAC), an antimicrobial agent. In-vitro research shows it is effective against Streptococcus mutans1,2.

High Viscosity

High Viscosity

High viscosity, 35% phosphoric acid etchant that is ideal for enamel etching.

Blue Color

Blue Color

Blue in color for easy visualization and contrast.

Easy Wash Off

Easy Wash Off

Etchant rinses away cleanly and quickly, leaving no residue to interfere with bonding.

Ideal for Selective-Etch

Ideal for Selective-Etch

Select HV Etch’s high viscosity offers precise placement, making it ideal for the selective-etch technique. However, it can be used for the total-etch and self-etch techniques as well.

Easy Handling

Easy Handling

Select HV Etch is designed to offer maximum handling and pin-point placement, while eliminating run-on onto the occlusal dentin surface.

Unparalleled Bond

Unparalleled Bond

Creates microretentive surfaces that are necessary for successful bonding. Published research proves that BISCO etchants produce higher bond strengths to (wet or dry) dentin3 and enamel.

Which etching techniques are Select HV Etch most suitable for?
Select HV is ideal for the selective-etch technique. Its high viscosity offers pin-point placement making it ideal for etching enamel margins, otherwise known as the selective or “hybrid” etch technique. Select HV Etch can also be used for the total-etch technique. Etching with Select HV Etch significantly improves the quality of the etch pattern and increases the bond at the enamel margin. 

How long should I etch or clean my restorations with Select HV Etch?
Dentin and enamel, or enamel only, should be etched for 15 seconds.

If using phosphoric acid as a cleaning agent on dental restorative materials: 30 seconds.

How does the “blue” color of Select HV Etch make etching easier?
Select HV Etch’s electric blue color allows for easy identification and contrast where deep color differentiation is important. The vibrant color assists clinicians in being able to see the product during placement and removal procedures.

What is BAC and what benefits does it provide?
Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is an antimicrobial agent. When BAC is present, research confirms the development of residual bacterial inhibition zones of up to 7mm, making it effective against Streptococcus mutans.1,2
