Opalustre
Opalustre by Ultradent is a professional-grade enamel microabrasion slurry that removes superficial white and brown stains caused by fluorosis and decalcification. Trusted by dentists across Pakistan and worldwide, it combines chemical and mechanical action in a single one-visit procedure for immediate, long-lasting esthetic results — without invasive restorations.
Key Features
- One-appointment results with immediate visible improvement after the first application and rinse
- Dual-action formula: 6.6% HCl provides chemical stain removal while silicon carbide microparticles deliver targeted microabrasion
- Removes enamel decalcification defects that are less than 0.2mm in depth, preserving maximum natural tooth structure
- Minimally invasive treatment — avoids the need for composite restorations, ceramic veneers, or crown fabrication
- Efficient syringe delivery system for mess-free, controlled application directly onto the discolored enamel surface
- Includes autoclavable OpalCups bristle and finishing cups that minimize splatter and allow precise micropolishing
- Certified gluten free, making it suitable for patients with dietary restrictions and diverse backgrounds
- Manufactured at Ultradent's ISO 13485-certified facility in the USA, ensuring consistent quality in every syringe

Description
Opalustre is a versatile dental resin that delivers dependable adhesion and excellent light‑curing performance for a range of restorative procedures. Its proprietary monomer composition provides a smooth handling experience, making it an ideal choice for both small and large restoration projects.
What sets Opalustre apart is its combination of low polymerisation shrinkage and high translucency, which together help maintain enamel‐to‑enamel contact during curing. The resulting bond strength enables reliable marginal integrity, a critical factor for long‑term restoration success.
Key Features
- Resin base composed of bis‑GMA and TEGDMA for optimal flow and strength.
- Low viscosity (0.8–1.1 mm²/s) that facilitates easy insertion in confined cavities.
- Light‑curing compatible with visible blue light (450‑500 nm) and UV‑LED units.
- Minimal polymerisation shrinkage rate (≈ 3.5 %) compared to standard composites.
- Stable colour match with a wide range of shade tabs (A1‑D3).
- High mechanical modulus (~ 9 GPa) for resistance to masticatory forces.
- Incorporated filler matrix (silica/zirconia) for improved wear resistance.
- Ultra‑low water sorption ( 2 %) that reduces long‑term degradation.
- Formulated with fillers up to 70 % by weight for dimensionally stable polishability.
Clinical Uses
- Class II and Class III posterior composite restorations requiring durable bonding.
- Inlay and onlay fabrications where precise cavity adaptation is essential.
- Root‑canal sealer applications due to its adhesion to dentine and sclerotic surfaces.
- As a base material under ceramic crowns to improve luting strength.
- Rapid provisional restoration in the office setting because of fast cure kinetics.
- Chairside repair of ceramic fractures with immediate light‑curing.
- Gate‑fracture preparation in orthodontic bonding procedures as a bonding agent.
- Composite layering for dentin cavities where micro‑leakage prevention is vital.
Why Dental Professionals Choose Opalustre
- Reliable adhesion to both enamel and dentine thanks to its functional monomers.
- Fast, predictable light‑curing times (≈ 20 s) that streamline workflows.
- Low micro‑leakage rates reported in inter‑bike studies due to minimal shrinkage.
- Consistent shade selection that matches unmodified stock shades.
- Resistant to bacterial infiltration, which reduces secondary caries risk.
- Ease of use - it can be mixed in 1–2 mL syringes with no pre‑mixing required.
- Compatibility with existing universal light‑curing units used across Pakistan.
