Porcelain Etch is a buffered 9.5% hydrofluoric acid gel for etching porcelain.
BOND/ETCH Ultradent Porcelain Etch & Silane ® CERAMIC ETCHANT AND SILANE SOLUTION • • • • Hydrofluoric acid gel approved for intraoral use1 Easy to control and place Will not stain composite or resin cement Single component silane Black Mini Brush Tip Inspiral Brush Tip Porcelain Etch is a buffered 9.5% hydrofluoric acid gel for etching porcelain. Silane is a single component solution. Use Porcelain Etch to etch porcelain or old macro-filled composites prior to intraoral bonding and repair. Use when etching of indirect porcelain restorations is required prior to insertion. Highest bond values to porcelain are achieved when hydrofluoric acid etching is followed by application of Silane. Studies have demonstrated that Silane, when used with Porcelain Etch and PQ1 or PermaQuick Bonding Resin, yields the highest bond strength compared to other porcelain bonding products.2 Porcelain Etch can be easily identified by its yellow color and does not migrate on the tooth surface.

Leave for 1 minute, then rinse and thoroughly dry the surface. Next, apply Silane and leave for 1 minute before air drying. Then apply PQ1, Peak LC Bond, or PermaQuick Bonding Resin, and light cure. Complete repair using composite, e.g. Amelogen Plus.
