Ultradent™ Porcelain Etch and 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.1 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 highest porcelain-to-resin bond strengths1
  • Porcelain Etch and Silane may also be used on lithium disilicate (IPS e.max®2 ) restorations
  • Certified gluten free
