Why Dental Professionals Choose Jumbo Etch: Precision and Visibility in Every Etching Step


Arkona Jumbo Etch 60g dental etchgel

Jumbo Etch plays an important role in adhesive dentistry, where the quality of the etching step directly affects bonding success. Uneven application, poor visibility, or incomplete rinsing can compromise adhesion and lead to post-operative sensitivity. This high-visibility dental etchgel is designed to provide predictable control, clear visual confirmation, and confident rinsing during restorative procedures.

Jumbo Etch is manufactured by

Arkona Dental
, a European dental materials manufacturer known for clinically reliable restorative products.

1. Why Etching Precision Matters in Restorative Dentistry

Etching is not simply a routine step—it directly affects bond strength and restoration longevity. Inconsistent etching or residual acid can weaken adhesion and increase sensitivity risks. A well-controlled etchgel allows clinicians to work accurately, especially around margins and sensitive areas, while maintaining predictable outcomes.

2. 36% Phosphoric Acid Etchgel for Consistent Conditioning

Jumbo Etch is a 36% phosphoric acid etchgel, a standard and trusted concentration for enamel and dentin conditioning. Its formulation delivers consistent etching performance, helping clinicians achieve reliable surface preparation for adhesive systems across a wide range of restorative cases.

3. High-Contrast Dark Blue Colour for Clear Visibility

One of the most distinctive features of Jumbo Etch is its intense dark blue colour. Unlike clear or lightly tinted gels that blend into tooth structure, this high-contrast colour allows clinicians to clearly see where the etchgel has been applied.

This improves:

  • Application confidence by confirming complete and uniform coverage
  • Margin control during precise placement near gingival and soft tissue areas

4. Easy and Complete Rinsing with Visual Confirmation

Thorough rinsing is essential to avoid residual etchant that may compromise bonding. The dark blue colour of Jumbo Etch acts as a visual indicator during rinsing, making it easy to confirm complete removal. The gel rinses off efficiently with a short stream of water, leaving a clean, residue-free surface ready for the next adhesive step.

5. Thixotropic Gel Consistency for Controlled Application

Jumbo Etch features a thixotropic gel consistency—it flows smoothly during extrusion but remains stable once applied. This controlled viscosity helps prevent slumping or unintended spreading, allowing accurate placement exactly where etching is required.

Clinical benefits include:

  • Improved control around margins
  • Reduced risk of unintended etching
  • More predictable working time

6. Jumbo Size 60g for Busy Clinics

The Jumbo Size 60g format is well suited for clinics with frequent restorative procedures. The larger volume supports workflow efficiency by reducing frequent replacements and helping clinics maintain consistent stock availability.

7. Complete Set for Convenience and Hygiene

Each Jumbo Etch 60g pack includes:

  • 3 refillable syringes
  • Up to 50 applicators

This setup supports hygienic handling and convenient chairside use without the need for additional accessories.

8. Easy Refilling Without an Adaptor

The syringe system allows quick refilling without the need for an adaptor. This design saves time during daily procedures and keeps the etchgel readily available for immediate use.

9. Available Now with Relaunch Pricing

Due to strong demand from clinicians familiar with its handling and reliability, Jumbo Etch is now available again. To mark its return, it is offered at a special relaunch price for a limited period.
