Opalustre is a viscous, 6.6% hydrochloric acid slurry that contains silicon carbide micro-particles in a water-soluble base. This combination provides chemical stain removal along with gentle mechanical abrasion. Use to quickly remove unsightly enamel decalcification defects that are less than 0.2mm in depth. Ideal for superficial white and brown demineralization due to enamel mottling from fluorosis1 as well as white spot lesions.

OpalCups latch-type bristle polishing cups are used with the Opalustre microabrasion technique to facilitate a more aggressive action and minimize splatter. OpalCups finishing cups are used with Opalustre for micro polishing the newly treated enamel surface. Both types of OpalCups are autoclavable for a limited number of cycles.

Bristle cup compresses Opalustre on tooth surface. Intermittent rinsing and inspection is recommended. After enamel microabrasion and 21 days of athome bleaching with Opalescence. Courtesy of Dr. Ted Croll Mottled teeth are thoroughly isolated by OpalDam. Opalustre is applied, directly out of the syringe, with a Black Mini Tip. With slow speed, an OpalCup is pressed and rotated against the surfaces.. Opalustre is removed by an airwater-spray; please pay attention to careful vacuuming. Then check if repeating the treatment is appropriate. The result of the Opalustre treatment: Upper: before. Lower: after. 1 Croll TP, Segura A, Donly J.
