Ultradent Opalustre™ Syringe

Product Information

Opalustre 6.6% hydrochloric acid slurry contains silicon carbide microparticles. This combination provides chemical stain removal along with gentle mechanical abrasion. Opalustre slurry is effective in treating mild fluorosis and stains in the superficial layer of the enamel.1 Opalustre slurry treatments can be combined with bleaching to improve appearance, especially for deeper and more severe fluorosis.1 OpalCups latch-type bristle polishing cups are used with the Opalustre slurry for micropolishing the newly treated enamel surface.

We recommend using Opalescence teeth whitening products prior to an Opalustre abrasion slurry treatment, as this procedure can sometimes be avoided. Additionally, please be aware that because the reactive oxygen needs to dissipate from the tooth before bonding, it is necessary to wait 7–10 days before any bonding procedure2, 3, 4 following a teeth whitening treatment.

Technical Details

6.6% Hydrochloric Acid Slurry Containing Silicon Carbide Microparticles

When preforming any abrasion procedure, it is important to have the perfect balance of chemical stain removal and mechanical abrasion. Our 6.6% hydrochloric acid slurry with silicon carbide microparticles has been created to provide you the strength of a chemical stain removal yet gentle scrubbing power of an abrasion slurry.

OpalCups Latch-Type Bristle Polishing Cups

OpalCups finishing cups are great for micropolishing newly treated enamel surfaces. The latch-type bristle polishing cups help facilitate a more aggressive action and minimize splatter when used with the Opalustre microabrasion technique.

Convenient Delivery

To be effective, an abrasion treatment has to be convenient to use and comfortable for the patient. With its efficient syringe delivery and splatter-minimizing cups, Opalustre slurry is extremely easy to use.

Opalustre Abrasion Slurry is Gluten Free and Kosher Certified

Opalescence™ whitening products are gluten free and kosher certified, so they fit in with the lifestyles and beliefs of patients from any background.

Procedures

Applying Opalustre Abrasion Slurry Using a Rubber Dam

See Instructions for Use for complete instructions, warnings, and precautions.

Step 1

Before application.

Step 2

After rubber dam placement, apply Opalustre slurry from syringe to discolored enamel.

Step 3

Use bristle cup to compress Opalustre slurry on tooth surface. Intermittent rinsing and inspection is recommended.

Step 4

After enamel microabrasion and 21 days of using Opalescence™ whitening gel.

Applying Opalustre Abrasion Slurry Using OpalDam Dental Dam

See Instructions for Use for complete instructions, warnings, and precautions.

Step 1

Before application.

Step 2

Isolate mottled teeth with OpalDam™ resin barrier. Apply Opalustre slurry directly out of the syringe with a Black Mini™ tip.

Step 3

Press the cup against the surface at a slow speed.

Step 4

Remove Opalustre slurry with an air/water spray. Please pay attention to careful vacuuming. Check to see if repeating the treatment is appropriate.
