Formulated as a 37% thixotropic phosphoric acid gel with a non-slump creamy consistency, Jade Blue flows smoothly into enamel and dentin preparation surfaces under the pressure of applicator tip delivery but maintains its position where placed without running onto adjacent soft tissue, uninvolved tooth surfaces, or gingival tissue that should not receive phosphoric acid contact during selective or total-etch application.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRestorative dentists, orthodontists, and dental assistants who apply phosphoric acid etchant as the first step of their total-etch adhesive bonding protocol find Dharma Research Jade Blue the dark blue, high-visibility, non-slump 37% thixotropic etch gel for their active chairside bonding workflow.\n?\nEach kit contains 25 individual 1.2mL pre-filled syringes and 50 pre-bent 23 gauge blue applicator tips, providing a complete per-use etch gel supply where each syringe delivers enough gel for multiple individual tooth etch applications and the pre-bent 23 gauge tips allow directed gel placement into pit and fissure anatomy, interproximal areas, and cavity preparation walls where straight tips cannot achieve the access angle needed for complete coverage without excess gel spread. Dark blue color of the gel provides clear visual contrast against white enamel and cream-colored dentin, allowing the clinician to confirm complete coverage of the intended etch surface at a glance before the etch time begins and to confirm complete removal of the etching gel after the prescribed rinse period without ambiguity about residual gel presence.\n?\nDharma Research Jade Blue works through 37% phosphoric acid's action on tooth structure, where the acid demineralizes the superficial enamel mineral layer to create the microporous surface texture that resin adhesive monomers infiltrate by capillary action during the bonding step, and removes the smear layer from prepared dentin surfaces to expose the dentinal tubule openings and the demineralized collagen matrix that the bonding agent's hydrophilic primer penetrates to form the hybrid layer that supports dentin bonding. Thixotropic gel consistency means the Jade Blue gel behaves as a high-viscosity non-slump material under static conditions, staying in place on vertical and horizontal tooth surfaces without flow after initial placement, but flows under the shear stress of applicator tip expression during delivery, allowing the gel to be expressed smoothly through the 23 gauge pre-bent tip with moderate syringe pressure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNon-slump property prevents the gel from flowing onto adjacent gingival tissue, proximal tooth surfaces, or rubber dam borders after placement, reducing the risk of inadvertent acid contact on uninvolved surfaces. Complete and easy rinsing with water removes the etching gel and acid products from the tooth surface without residual staining.\n?\nRestorative dentists placing Class I, II, III, IV, and V direct composites using 4th and 5th generation total-etch adhesive systems find Jade Blue's non-slump thixotropic consistency provides precise selective etch placement at preparation margins and cavity floor surfaces without gel migration beyond the intended etch zone. Dental assistants applying etchant during orthodontic bracket bonding procedures find the dark blue color allows rapid visual confirmation of complete bracket footprint coverage before proceeding to the rinse step.\n?\nDharma Research Jade Blue Phosphoric Acid Etch Gel, 37%, Thixotropic gives dental practices a dark blue, non-slump, 37% phosphoric acid etch gel that stays in place, washes off completely without staining, creates micropores in enamel, removes the smear layer from dentin, and supports precise selective placement through pre-bent 23 gauge tips in a kit of 25 x 1.2mL syringes with 50 applicator tips.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor dental offices ordering phosphoric acid etchant supplies for total-etch adhesive bonding programs, Jade Blue delivers the placement precision, non-slump thixotropy, and complete rinsability that consistent enamel and dentin etching requires.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dharma Research","offers":[{"title":"25 x 1.2 ml","offer_id":51368304640321,"sku":"DH-20-00004","price":38.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/2525\/5233\/files\/150941_main.webp?v=1770260347","url":"https:\/\/carolinadental.com\/products\/dharma-research-jade-blue-etch-gel-x-25-x-1-2ml-syringes","provider":"CAROLINA DENTAL SUPPLY INC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
