Opalustre

Opalustre is a **topical dental microabrasion slurry** designed to remove superficial white, brown, or multicolored enamel defects, particularly those due to **enamel mottling from fluorosis**. It combines **chemical abrasion (6.6% hydrochloric acid)** with **gentle mechanical abrasion (silicon carbide microparticles)** for minimally invasive correction of surface enamel decalcification that is less than 0.2 mm in depth. The product is typically used in a single clinical visit, applied to the tooth surface with a slow-speed handpiece and bristle cup, and may be followed by fluoride treatment. Opalustre provides a conservative alternative to restorative approaches for the management of superficial enamel stains and decalcification, often in cases where traditional whitening has been ineffective. It is formulated for professional use only, and both clinician and patient require protective measures due to its caustic nature[3][4][5][6][8][9].
