image Special Notes/Helpful Hints • Etch time must be extended for primary teeth due to the irregularly shaped enamel rods. • Etch time must be extended for tooth surfaces recently treated with fluoride. • Variances occur in the percentage of orthophosphoric acid, depending on the manufacturer of the etchant. If an etchant has a lower percentage of orthophosphoric acid the etch time will increase, while a higher percentage of orthophosphoric acid will decrease the etch time.
