Clinical Overview
Condac 37 is an aqueous-based gel containing 37% phosphoric acid, developed to etch enamel and dentin effectively. Its low-viscosity, thixotropic formulation with a blue pigment ensures controlled placement and excellent visibility. Water-soluble properties permit quick and complete removal without residue.
Key Benefits
- Consistent performance: Thixotropic gel adheres to the target site without runoff.
- Blue pigment: Enhances visual control during application.
- Water-soluble: Rinses away cleanly, minimizing risk of residue.
- High etching efficacy: Provides excellent enamel and dentin conditioning for optimal bonding.
Kit Contents
- 3 × 2.5 mL syringes of 37% phosphoric acid gel
- 3 × disposable applicator tips
Working & Setting Times
- Etching: Apply gel to enamel for approximately 30 seconds, dentin for 15 seconds.
- Removal: Rinse thoroughly with water and dry carefully to avoid dentin dehydration.
Indications
- Acid etching of enamel and dentin prior to bonding of resin-based restorative materials.
- Preparation of tooth surface to enhance adhesion and hybrid layer formation.
Instructions for Use
- Clean and dry the tooth surface thoroughly prior to etchant application.
- Deliver gel precisely to enamel or dentin area using applicator tip.
- Allow etching for ~30 seconds on enamel; ~15 seconds on dentin.
- Rinse abundantly with water for at least 10 seconds to ensure complete removal.
- Air-dry the surface—avoid over-drying dentin.
- Proceed with bonding protocol as per adhesive/resin system instructions.
