Dentalife ActivEtch is a 37% phosphoric acid etching gel designed for reliable conditioning of enamel and dentin prior to adhesive procedures. It provides effective, self‑limiting etching to support strong, predictable bonds for composite restorations, sealants and other adhesive treatments.
This popular etch is available through Adam Dental Supplies in convenient formats to suit different workflows, making it a staple in many Australian restorative and preventive setups.
Dentalife ActivEtch is available in two practical options:
-
60 ml jumbo etch tube – supplied with an adaptor so you can refill smaller syringes in‑house, ideal for practices that prefer a bulk format with flexible delivery.
-
Prefilled syringes – pack of 10 x 3 ml prefilled syringes with 20 blue dispensing tips, ready to load and use straight away for fast, controlled application.
Both options are designed to integrate easily into existing adhesive protocols and work with standard isolation techniques.
Key Features and Benefits
-
37% phosphoric acid etch for conditioning both enamel and dentin.
-
Self‑limiting etching profile to help avoid over‑etching when used according to directions.
-
Contrasting blue colour for easy visual control during placement and rinsing.
-
Smooth, controlled gel consistency for precise placement and reduced risk of run‑off.
-
Rinses off easily with water, helping streamline chairside workflow.
-
Suitable for use before bonding adhesives, composite restorations and sealants.
These features make ActivEtch a versatile choice for clinicians who want consistent results across a wide range of adhesive procedures.
Indications for use
Dentalife ActivEtch 37% gel is intended for professional use in:
-
Etching enamel and dentin prior to application of bonding agents.
-
Preparing tooth surfaces for composite restorations.
-
Conditioning enamel surfaces before placing pit and fissure sealants.
-
Adhesive procedures where micromechanical retention is required.
It is suitable for use in both anterior and posterior regions, as part of standard adhesive protocols.
Handling and application
The blue gel consistency is designed for controlled placement exactly where it is needed, helping reduce excess and improving visibility. When used in syringe form with the supplied tips, clinicians can access small preparations, occlusal fissures and proximal areas with confidence.
After the recommended etching time, ActivEtch is rinsed thoroughly with water and the tooth surface is dried according to the bonding system’s instructions before proceeding with adhesive and restorative placement.
