Etchant tips are dental tools used to apply a gel or liquid etched to the surfaces of teeth during dental procedures. They are necessary to create a rough surface that allows better adhesion of dental materials such as bonding agents and compounds.
* Black: The color of the tip may indicate the compatibility of a particular material or brand identity.
* 20G: This most likely refers to the tip gauge, affecting the amount of engraving being distributed.
* PK/100: Pack with 100 tips.
Main uses
