Ultra-Etch®

• Self-limiting on dentin
• Penetrates smallest fissures but won’t migrate on a vertical surface
• Increases bond strength and reduces sensitivity
• Places precisely
• Rinses cleanly-leaves no residue
• Dark blue color for good visibility

Ultra-Etch is a 35% phosphoric acid solution. It features ideal viscosity, which, along with the use of the Blue Micro or Inspiral Brush Tip, facilitates precision placement and superior control. Ultra-Etch is self limiting in its depth of etch (average depth of 1.9 µm with 15 seconds etch), creating an etch pattern that adhesives can penetrate for increased bond strength and reduced sensitivity. Studies demonstrate Ultra-Etch’s unique self-limiting chemistry creates an optimal surface to receive resin.

Through Ultra-Etch is viscous, it can penetrate into the smallest fissures or occlusal surfaces due to physical and chemical properties that promote capillary action. Its ideal viscosity maintains a layer thick enough to prevent premature drying.

USES

Ultra-Etch etchant is indicated for use on dentin and enamel to create optimal bonding surfaces. Ultra-Etch etchant can also be used to remove contaminants from composite on porcelain prior to bonding. (Note: Do bot use phosphoric etchant on metals or zirconia, as this will reduce the bond strength)
