Pulpdent Etch-Rite 38% Phosphoric Acid Dental Etching Gel, 6ml Syringe Refill is used for the acid-etching step of the total-etch and selective-etch adhesive bonding protocol in composite resin restorations, ceramic and porcelain bonding, sealant placement, orthodontic bracket bonding, and other restorative procedures requiring phosphoric acid conditioning of enamel, dentin, and glass ionomer cement surfaces, providing the same thixotropic etching gel chemistry as the larger Etch-Rite formats in a convenient single syringe. Each pack contains one 6mL syringe. Dental offices ordering etching gel from their supplier can buy this mid-volume single syringe for smaller practices, lower-volume bonding workflows, or clinical situations needing a working-size syringe without the full inventory commitment of a bulk or jumbo refill, since the 6mL format is the practical everyday working size that sits at the bonding station or restorative tray setup for direct, ready-access use. The 38% phosphoric acid concentration provides effective etching of enamel at a 20-second contact time, dentin at 15 seconds to remove the smear layer and open dentinal tubule orifices for adhesive resin tag penetration, and glass ionomer cement at 15 seconds to improve the bond between composite resin and a glass ionomer base or liner placed below the composite layer.

The thixotropic gel body allows smooth extrusion through small-gauge pre-bent applicator tips under moderate plunger pressure, with the gel flowing freely during extrusion but reassuming its stable gel body immediately on contact with the tooth surface, staying precisely in place without running onto adjacent gingival or soft tissue during the etch contact time, and rinsing off completely with water spray afterward, leaving no residue that would interfere with adhesive bonding performance.
