UltraDent Porcelain Etch & Silane

Ultradent 90-second Porcelain Etch is used to etch porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and fractured dental porcelain.

Ultradent 60-second Silane is used after hydrofluoric acid etching to prepare the surface for bonding resin.

Studies have demonstrated that Silane, when used with Porcelain Etch and a quality bonding resin, yields the highest bond strength to porcelain when compared with other porcelain bonding products.

Both Porcelain Etch and Silane may be used intraorally or extraorally.

Porcelain Etch is a viscous, buffered 9% hydrofluoric acid

Etch is easy to control and place

Will not stain composite or resin cement

Silane is a single-component solution

Yields the highest porcelain-to-resin bond strengths¹

Ultradent Porcelain Etch and Silane may also be used on lithium disilicate (IPS e.max *) restorations²

For Porcelain Etch, use with Inspiral Brush tips.

For Silane, use with Black Mini Brush tips.
