Removes contaminants after intraoral try-in 20-second cleaning step supports efficient use Suitable for pre-treated ceramic and metal surfaces Zirconium oxide particles aid decontamination Ready-to-use paste in a compact 5 g bottle Quantity: 1 per Pack Ivoclar Vivadent Ivoclean Cleaning Paste, Refill, 5g is used for extraoral cleaning of pre-treated ceramic and metal restoration surfaces after contamination during intraoral try-in. This universal restoration cleaning paste helps remove saliva-related contaminants, particularly proteins, before adhesive luting procedures, since effective cleaning of the intaglio surface is important because contamination introduced during try-in can interfere with the prepared bonding surface and compromise the conditions needed for subsequent cementation. Each pack contains one 5g bottle of ready-to-use paste for extraoral application to contaminated restorative surfaces.Dental offices ordering restoration cleaning paste from their supplier can buy this refill for its broad compatibility with ceramics, alloys, and composites, giving clinicians a dedicated cleaning step for restorative workflows involving indirect restorations. The cleaning process requires approximately 20 seconds of contact before the paste is thoroughly rinsed away and the surface is dried, helping re-establish a clean surface before the selected primer or luting material is applied. Ivoclean works through an alkaline suspension containing zirconium oxide particles that interact with phosphate-containing contaminants present on restorative surfaces. These contaminants can be introduced by saliva and other oral fluids during try-in, particularly on zirconia surfaces where phosphate molecules can interfere with subsequent bonding chemistry.The zirconium oxide particles in the cleaning paste preferentially bind these contaminants so they can be removed when the material is rinsed away, supporting restoration surface decontamination without relying on phosphoric acid for substrates where phosphoric acid does not effectively remove saliva-related phosphate contamination. The result is a cleaner bonding surface prepared for the next step in the adhesive cementation sequence, whether the clinician is bonding a zirconia crown, a lithium disilicate restoration, or a metal-based framework requiring reliable adhesion.
