Opalustre™ is a chemical and mechanical abrasion slurry, used to remove superficial white and brown decalcification stains due to enamel mottling from fluorosis. Opalustre works by combining chemical stain removal with gentle mechanical abrasion to remove unsightly enamel decalcification defects that are less than 0.2mm in depth. Other features and benefits include:
- 6.6% hydrochloric acid slurry
- Minimally invasive treatment for fluorosis
- Direct delivery for an easy and mess-free technique
- Distinct purple colour for accurate placement and control
- Autoclavable OpalCups minimize splatter
- Opalustre is gluten-free and kosher certified
Indications for Use
Opalustre is recommended for correction of superficial (less than 0.2mm depth) white, brown, or multicoloured enamel defects, including fluorosis discolouration, that have not responded to regular take-home bleaching products.

6.6% Hydrochloric Acid Slurry Containing Silicon Carbide Microparticles
When preforming any abrasion procedure, it is important to have the perfect balance of chemical stain removal and mechanical abrasion. Our 6.6% hydrochloric acid slurry with silicon carbide microparticles has been created to provide you the strength of a chemical stain removal yet gentle scrubbing power of an abrasion slurry.
OpalCups Latch-Type Bristle Polishing Cups
OpalCups finishing cups are great for micropolishing newly treated enamel surfaces. The latch-type bristle polishing cups help facilitate a more aggressive action and minimize splatter when used with the Opalustre microabrasion technique.
Convenient Delivery
To be effective, an abrasion treatment has to be convenient to use and comfortable for the patient. With its efficient syringe delivery and splatter-minimizing cups, Opalustre slurry is extremely easy to use.
Opalustre Abrasion Slurry is Gluten Free and Kosher Certified
Opalescence™ whitening products are gluten free and kosher certified, so they fit in with the lifestyles and beliefs of patients from any background.

Q: What is Opalustre slurry?
A: Opalustre chemical and mechanical abrasion slurry is used for the correction of white, brown, or multicolored enamel defects, including fluorosis discoloration.
Q: How does Opalustre work?
A: Apply the abrasion mixture to the teeth and slowly buff away discolouration using medium to heavy pressure.
Q: How long does the Opalustre procedure take?
A: This is a one-visit procedure, however, Opalustre can be reapplied as necessary to achieve the desired results.
Q: Do I have to use the OpalCups when using Opalustre?
A: We highly recommend it. The latch-type bristles on the OpalCups help facilitate a more aggressive action and minimize splatter.
Q: Can I give my patient whitening treatments in addition to the Opalustre procedure?
A: Yes! Take-home whitening treatments such as Opalescence GO or Opalescence PF are a great complement to the Opalustre treatment to help further blend and whiten teeth.
