Description:

"The 712-039 Transbond Unitek Etching Gel System is a professional-grade orthodontic etchant designed to prepare tooth enamel surfaces for optimal bonding of orthodontic appliances and brackets. Developed by 3M Unitek, this gel etchant system offers consistent, effective enamel conditioning that enhances adhesive retention, ensuring strong and durable bonds throughout treatment.
The system contains a precisely formulated phosphoric acid gel that gently roughens the enamel surface by creating micro-porosities, allowing for superior mechanical interlocking with bonding resins. This controlled etching minimizes enamel loss while maximizing bond strength, reducing bracket failure and ensuring treatment efficacy.
The gel’s viscosity is carefully engineered to provide excellent application control, preventing unnecessary spread to adjacent soft tissues and minimizing patient discomfort. It is easy to apply with the provided delivery system, facilitating precise and hygienic enamel conditioning even in challenging clinical situations.
The Transbond Unitek Etching Gel System is compatible with a wide range of bonding agents and adhesives, making it a versatile choice for various orthodontic protocols. It is safe, reliable, and designed for efficient clinical use, helping clinicians achieve consistent results with every application.
This etching gel system supports faster, more predictable bonding procedures and contributes significantly to the long-term success of orthodontic treatments by enhancing bracket retention and reducing emergency debonding."
