Description
Porcelain Etch Ultradent is a 9% hydrofluoric acid gel specifically formulated to prepare porcelain surfaces for strong and durable bonding. It plays a critical role in porcelain repair procedures, allowing clinicians to restore fractured restorations quickly and effectively.
This etching gel creates a micro-retentive surface on porcelain, enabling optimal adhesion of composite and bonding agents. As a result, clinicians achieve high bond strength when repairing veneers, crowns, and other ceramic restorations.
Moreover, the gel features a buffered and viscous formulation, which allows precise placement while minimizing unnecessary spread. Its high-visibility yellow color ensures clinicians can clearly see the application area, improving accuracy and control during procedures.
In addition, Porcelain Etch supports efficient chairside repairs by eliminating the need for complex preparation techniques. When used with silane and a compatible bonding agent, it enhances the overall bonding system and improves long-term restoration success.
The formulation also helps reduce vapor-related irritation compared to traditional hydrofluoric acid solutions, making it safer and more controlled for clinical use.
Overall, Porcelain Etch Ultradent is an essential material for clinicians performing porcelain repairs, ceramic bonding, and restorative enhancements.
Porcelain Etch Ultradent Technical Details
Designed to Work Together
Porcelain Etch
Viscous, Buffered 9% Hydrofluoric Acid
Porcelain Etch is a buffered, gelled hydrofluoric acid designed specifically to etch fractured dental porcelain such as porcelain veneers, crowns, or inlays. It can also be used for etching porcelain crowns before bonding orthodontic brackets. It is buffered and gelled to minimize any irritation that could occur from the hydrofluoric acid vapor.
Easy to Control and Place
Porcelain Etch features a high visibility yellow hue so you can see exactly where it is placed. It is also viscous enough to stay where you place it.
Peak Universal Bond Adhesive
Universal Application
Peak Universal Bond adhesive is a 7.5% filled light-cured resin with an ethanol solvent carrier. It is ideal for direct and indirect bonding procedures, post and core procedures, and repairs of composite, metal, zirconia, and porcelain restorations.
PermaFlo Flowable Composite
Flowable Composite
PermaFlo flowable composite is light-cured, radiopaque, and methacrylate-based, with thixotropic properties that impart ideal flowability. It is 68% filled by weight, with an average particle size of 0.7μm and a low film thickness. It is strong and wear resistant and is effective at masking metal surfaces for natural-looking restorations.
OpalDam Light-Cured Resin Barrier
Easy to Place and Remove
OpalDam light-cured resin barrier is easily expressed directly where it’s needed in the mouth via the simple syringe-and-tip delivery. Simply use an explorer or other instrument to cleanly break the cured resin from undercuts and discard.
