FAQs
- Do I etch before placing Embrace Sealant?
Always etch enamel. Products claiming they did not require enamel etching have been taken off the market. They did not work.
- How wet do I leave the tooth before placing Embrace?
Place Embrace on slightly moist tooth surfaces. Lightly dry the tooth with compressed air or a cotton pellet, but do not desiccate the tooth. The tooth should appear shiny or glossy. There should be no drops or pooling of water.
- What should I do if I dry the tooth too much?
You can apply a moist cotton pellet to the tooth.
- What happens if I place Embrace on a dry tooth?
Embrace is activated by moisture. It will seal a dry tooth, but it works even better in the presence of moisture.
- Should I use a bonding agent with Embrace?
It is not necessary to use a bonding agent. Clinical trials show unsurpassed retention without the use of bonding agents.
- How many teeth does a kit seal?
The 1.2 mL syringe seals 20-30 teeth. A kit if 4 x 1.2 mL syringes seals 80-120 teeth. The 3 mL syringe seals 50-75 teeth.
- How long will Embrace stay on the teeth?
Clinical study has followed 334 teeth for 4-6 years. There was no pre-screening of children. Even children with poor hygiene and poor eating habits were included. Ten per cent of the sealants required repair or replacement over the 4-6 year period. Only three teeth had caries on the sealed occlusal surface. The teeth sealed with Embrace were 99% caries free.
- How long do I light cure Embrace?
Light cure time with a standard halogen light is 20 seconds. More powerful lights will cure faster.
- Does Embrace cure with all lights?
Yes.
- Is Embrace fluoride releasing?
Yes.
