Description
Prosil FGM is a silane coupling agent developed to improve adhesion between resin-based materials and indirect restorative substrates. Dentists commonly apply this material before cementing ceramic restorations because it promotes a stable chemical bond between the restoration surface and resin cements or adhesives.
Moreover, the product works effectively with restorations made from ceramic, ceromer, composite resin, and fiber glass posts. By creating a chemical bridge between inorganic restorative surfaces and methacrylate-based resins, the silane treatment significantly enhances bonding strength during restorative procedures.
In addition, Prosil offers a simple and efficient application protocol that requires only about one minute. This short application time allows clinicians to integrate the silanization step easily into their adhesive workflow. Consequently, dentists can perform bonding procedures more efficiently while maintaining reliable adhesion.
Another important advantage involves its high bonding capability. Clinical studies indicate that proper silane application can increase adhesive strength by up to 30%. Therefore, restorations treated with silane show improved retention and long-term stability when cemented with resin-based materials.
Furthermore, the material supports consistent restorative outcomes when used after ceramic surface conditioning. Dentists typically apply it following hydrofluoric acid etching, which prepares the restoration surface for optimal bonding. Once applied, the silane forms a reactive layer that improves interaction between the ceramic surface and resin cement.
Overall, Prosil FGM serves as an essential component in adhesive dentistry. Its ability to strengthen the bond between ceramic restorations and resin materials helps clinicians achieve durable and predictable restorative results.

Prosil FGM Application Steps
-
First condition the ceramic or ceromer restoration using hydrofluoric acid etching gel according to the manufacturer’s recommended time.
-
Rinse the restoration thoroughly with abundant water to remove the etching agent completely.
-
Dry the restoration carefully until the internal surface becomes clean and moisture-free.
-
Next apply a thin layer of silane onto the internal surface using a disposable applicator such as a microbrush.
-
Allow the material to react on the surface for approximately 1 minute.
-
Then gently dry the surface using light air spray.
-
After silanization, the restoration surface will appear bright and ready for adhesive cementation.
