Hi Brian
Thanks for asking me to try out the Etchmaster. This is a really neat bit of kit. As you know we use air abrasion quite a lot but the machine is quite big and sometimes we just want to etch an area to improve the adhesion, and to be honest, we sometimes don’t use it as much as we should.
The Etchmaster fits on the delivery unit in place of a normal handpiece and is just so easy to use. We’ve now used it to clean fissures prior to fissure sealing and I’m routinely using it when placing veneers.
I still use the main air abrasion machine for cavity prep, as it’s not strong enough for that. I think every practice should have one!
Kind regards
Teresa
