About etching agents
Dental etching agents are acids that prepare a surface for bonding: 35 to 37 percent phosphoric acid for enamel and dentin, hydrofluoric acid for ceramics. Phosphoric acid creates microscopic pores in enamel and dentin for the resin to lock into. Glass-based ceramics need a stronger medium than phosphoric acid: hydrofluoric acid, which dissolves the glass in the ceramic.
The acid itself: phosphoric acid for enamel and dentin, hydrofluoric acid for glass-based ceramics.
