UltraSeal XT™ hydro™

Product Information

Hydrophilic Pit and Fissure Sealant

UltraSeal XT hydro hydrophilic pit and fissure sealant is a light-cured, radiopaque, fluoride-releasing composite sealant. It is stronger and more wear resistant because it is a 53%-filled resin and has less polymerization shrinkage than competitive products.1 The spiral brush action of the Inspiral™ Brush tip causes shear thinning of the thixotropic UltraSeal XT hydro sealant. When the resin stops flowing the shear thinning ceases and placement is complete,1 preventing it from running before it can be light cured. The advanced, hydrophilic chemistry works when all visible moisture has been removed. UltraSeal XT hydro sealant has the ideal viscosity for deep penetration into pits and fissures.2

Technical Details

BPA Free

Ultradent has always been aware of the risk associated with BPA and has never used it in our dental sealants.

Hydrophilic Chemistry

UltraSeal XT hydro sealant’s hydrophilic chemistry eliminates the need to pretreat the tooth with a drying agent, so you can give your patients effective treatments even faster. Providing quality treatments fast ultimately means more production for your practice.

Fluorescing Properties

The fluorescing properties of UltraSeal XT hydro sealant allow you to quickly check the retention of the seal at the time of placement AND at later visits. This eliminates guesswork and gives you confidence your patients’ sealants are securely intact.

Advanced Adhesive Technology

Simply put, UltraSeal XT hydro sealant lasts. Its advanced adhesive technology securely bonds to enamel, increasing marginal retention and reducing microleakage.1 The result is fewer patients who need sealants re-placed, which has a positive effect on your bottom line.

Clinicals

UltraSeal XT hydro Sealant vs. the Leading Competitor

UltraSeal XT hydro sealant provides a complete seal with no microleakage.

Competitor hydrophilic sealants don’t form a proper seal and, as a result, allow microleakage (1).

UltraSeal XT hydro sealant features an advanced adhesive technology that allows it to form a superior bond with tooth structure, creating well-sealed margins.

Competitor hydrophilic sealants don’t adhere well to the pits and fissures, and begin to peel away from the margins (2).

Remove visible moisture. Do not desiccate the tooth.

Step 3

Place UltraSeal XT hydro sealant.

Step 4

Cure for 3 seconds with VALO™ curing light on Xtra Power mode, or 10 seconds on Standard Power mode.

Step 5

UltraSeal XT hydro sealant has added fluorescent properties, so you can check retention at every appointment.

Testimonials

"Since I have such great success with Opalescence® Boost and Opalescence® PF I also ordered the UltraSeal XT hydro for our sealants. I was previously using [a competitor's sealant] and they would pop off within a few weeks at times and just sat on top of the tooth. While placing the UltraSeal XT hydro, you can literally see the sealant going into the pits and fissures! Day and night difference, and the use of the little light is a fun way to show the kids and parents and be able to check them at their six-month appointments!!!"
