Opalustre Refill for Enamel Microabrasion by Ultradent

Opalustre Refill is a professional enamel microabrasion product from Ultradent, designed to help remove superficial white and brown enamel imperfections associated with fluorosis and enamel mottling. It combines 6.6% hydrochloric acid with silicon carbide microparticles to provide chemical stain removal alongside controlled mechanical abrasion. Moreover, Opalustre comes in a viscous slurry that the dental professional applies directly to the affected enamel. When used with the appropriate OpalCups instruments, it helps treat selected superficial enamel defects. Therefore, it offers a minimally invasive option for suitable cases where the discoloration affects the outer enamel layer.

Key benefits of Opalustre Refill

• Superficial stain removal: Helps address selected white and brown enamel imperfections.
• 6.6% hydrochloric acid: Provides the chemical component of the microabrasion process.
• Silicon carbide microparticles: Add controlled mechanical abrasion to the treatment.
• Viscous slurry: Supports controlled placement on the affected enamel.
• Four-syringe refill: Includes four 1.2 mL syringes for replenishing clinical supplies.
• Professional application: Allows the dentist to assess the enamel and control treatment according to the product instructions.

Together, these features make Opalustre Refill a useful option for dental professionals who manage suitable superficial enamel discoloration.

How Opalustre Refill works

Opalustre combines chemical action with mechanical abrasion. First, the hydrochloric acid helps treat superficial enamel imperfections. Next, the silicon carbide microparticles support the mechanical removal of the affected surface layer. The dentist applies the slurry to the isolated tooth and uses the recommended OpalCups instrument according to the manufacturer's instructions. After each application, the clinician rinses the area and evaluates the result. If necessary, the dentist can repeat the process within the limits specified by the instructions for use. However, case selection matters. Opalustre is intended for superficial defects; it does not replace a complete assessment of deeper discoloration or other enamel conditions. For that reason, the dentist should determine whether microabrasion alone will meet the patient's needs or whether another treatment may provide a better result.

Clinical applications and important precautions

Dental professionals may use Opalustre Refill to manage selected superficial white and brown enamel imperfections associated with fluorosis and enamel mottling. In suitable cases, the technique can improve the appearance of the affected enamel. Nevertheless, the clinician must assess the depth and nature of each defect before treatment. Ultradent describes the product for surface imperfections less than approximately 0.2 mm deep. Deeper defects may require a different treatment approach. Because the slurry contains hydrochloric acid, the dental professional must isolate the treatment area and protect the soft tissues. In addition, the clinician should use appropriate personal protective equipment, follow the instructions for use and avoid unnecessary contact with the eyes or skin. Opalustre Refill supplies the slurry only. Therefore, confirm that the practice has the appropriate compatible OpalCups instruments and White Mac tips before treatment.
