The Effect of Hydrofluoric Acid Etching Duration on the Surface Micromorphology, Roughness, and Wettability of Dental Ceramics [PDF]
The current laboratory study is evaluating the effect of hydrofluoric acid etching duration on the surface characteristics of five silica-based glass ceramics. Changes in the pore pattern, crystal structure, roughness, and wettability were compared and evaluated.

Titanium oxide coating and acid etching on platelet activation in dental implants
Titanium is the most widely used dental implant material, but it requires surface treatment to improve osseointegration. While coating implants with TiO2, residue can arise, which may lead to contamination. To address this, 10% HF etching is added.

Comparison of the Retention Rates of Pit and Fissure Sealants Placed on First Permanent Molars Treated with Air Abrasion and Acid Etching: A Split-mouth Randomised Clinical Trial [PDF]
Introduction: Pit and fissure sealants are a reliable and safe method of occlusal caries prevention. Accurate preconditioning of the enamel surface is essential for long-term sealant retention.

Currently, dental adhesives can be divided into two systems; a smear layer-removal approach with etch-and-rinse adhesives or a smear layer-modified approach with self-etching adhesives. After phosphoric acid etching, the smear layer is completely removed.

A concise review of dental sealants in caries management
This concise review provides an update of the use of dental sealants. Dental sealants protect a tooth from caries development by providing a physical barrier to microorganism colonisation and creating a favorable environment for patients to clean.

Intelligent modeling and optimization of titanium surface etching for dental implant application
Acid-etching is one of the most popular processes for the surface treatment of dental implants. In this paper, acid-etching of commercially pure titanium (cpTi) in a 48% H2SO4 solution is investigated.
