PROs
1. Initial investment is relatively low.
2. Easy clean up.
CONs
1. Sometimes difficult to aim at the upper molars because the disposable tip is flexible.
2. Powder is not used as efficiently when compared to other micro-etching systems. Powder is often left over when the tips get thrown away. Tip price ranges from $2 to $3 depending on size.
Would I recommend this product?
Yes. If you need to micro-etch a lot you might be better off with a competing product like the Danville micro-etcher.

Thanks for your review! I have contacted the producer of EtchMaster and he confirmed, that EtchMaster can also be used on the Sylc-Adapter (http://www.osspray.com/), because it`s also produced by his company. Give Sylc a try. I havn`t used it often so far, but my assisistant and the (few, so far) patients seem to like it.
Hi Michael. Thanks for the info. I noticed the similarities between the two products and wondered what was going on. I already have plans to try the sylc powder in my air polisher and now I’ll try the sylc tips in my etchmaster adapter too. I will share my experience.

Hello, I work in an orthodontic practice and we use these often for lingual bonded retainers. It seems you do not have any instructions ( That I could find) on how to clean the hand piece. If you could please let me know any information on this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.H
I would check with the manufacturer. I don’t have the needed instructions and no longer use the product.
