Ultradent Ultra-Etch™

Product Information

Ultra-Etch etchant 35% phosphoric acid solution features ideal viscosity, facilitates precise placement and superior control. It is self-limiting in its depth of etch (average depth of 1.9 μm with 15-second etch),1 creating an etch pattern that adhesives can penetrate for increased bond strength. Ultra-Etch etchant's unique self-limiting chemistry on dentin creates an optimal surface to receive resin.2 Though Ultra-Etch etchant is viscous, it can penetrate into the occlusal fissures or vertical surfaces due to physical and chemical properties that promote capillary action. Its ideal viscosity maintains a layer that is thick enough to prevent premature drying.

Ultra-Etch etchant is indicated for use on dentin and enamel to create optimal bonding surfaces. Ultra-Etch etchant can be used for 5 seconds to remove the salts created by etching porcelain.

• Self-limiting1 on dentin
• Unique self-limiting chemistry reduces the risk of overetching, creating the optimal surface to receive resin2
• Penetrates smallest fissures and won't run on a vertical surface3
• Precise placement
• Etch and rinse
• Rinses cleanly—leaves no residue
• Use with Blue Micro™ Tip and Inspiral™ Brush tip

Total Control in Handling

Ultra-Etch etchant is a 35% phosphoric acid solution for use on dentin and enamel to create ideal bonding surfaces. It is self-limiting in its depth of etch (average depth of 1.9 μm with 15-second etch),1 creating an etch pattern that adhesives can penetrate for increased bond strength and reduced sensitivity. Combined with an ideal viscosity that facilitates precise placement, this unique self-limiting chemistry results in an optimal surface to receive resin.2

Optimal Viscosity

Ultra-Etch etchant is uniquely formulated with ideal viscosity. Though it is viscous, it can penetrate into the smallest fissures or occlusal surfaces due to physical and chemical properties that promote capillary action. Yet, Ultra-Etch etchant's ideal viscosity maintains a layer thick enough to prevent it from running on vertical surfaces3 or drying prematurely.

Precise Placement

Ultra-Etch etchant's ideal viscosity, along with the use of the Blue Micro™ or Inspiral™ Brush tip, facilitates precise placement and superior control. Ultra-Etch etchant also rinses clearly and cleanly, leaving no residue.

Self-limiting

It is self-limiting in its depth of etch (average depth of 1.9 μm with 15-second etch).1 Acids with a greater depth of etch go beyond the optimum level and increase the potential for incomplete resin impregnation.2

Industry Leader for More Than 30 Years

Ultra-Etch etchant is perfect for any restoration in any part of the mouth. It has been listed as a "Can't Live Without" product by a prominent independent research institute,4 and has been recognized by Clinicians Report as one of the best products in its category5 for years on end.

Clinical

Ideal for Etching Dentin and Enamel Clinical experience and FE-SEM evaluations2 show that 20 seconds etch time on both dentin and enamel provides optimal conditioning of both tissues. Air/water rinse. Blot excess water off, leaving surface visibly wet.	Self-Limiting Chemistry Creates Optimal Surface With an average depth of 1.9μm with a 15-second etch, Ultra-Etch etchant stops etching at the ideal depth.
