Ultradent™ Porcelain Etch and Silane

Ultradent Porcelain Etch is a viscous, buffered 9% hydrofluoric acid. Silane is a single-component solution.


Porcelain Etch is designed for intraoral or extraoral porcelain etching. Use it for in-office etching of indirect restorations, such as veneers, inlays, etc. After porcelain etching, clean residual debris with Ultra-Etch etchant for 5 seconds and rinse thoroughly; follow with Silane application. 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.1
