Ivoclean is a universal cleaning paste used to decontaminate ceramic, zirconia, and metal restorations after intraoral try-in and before adhesive cementation. It removes salivary phosphates and other contaminants that can compromise bond strength through an alkaline suspension of zirconium oxide particles. This Complete Buyer's Guide helps you choose confidently and support predictable adhesive outcomes.
What makes this product stand out?
Ivoclean is specifically formulated to address salivary contamination, a common cause of bonding failure after try-in procedures. Its targeted cleaning action through zirconium oxide particle suspension supports consistent adhesion without aggressive surface treatment, abrasion, or complex multi-step protocols.
Key advantages include:
- An alkaline suspension of zirconium oxide particles removes phosphate contamination through adsorption
- Simple 20-second application integrates easily into cementation workflows
- Universal indication works on glass ceramics, zirconia, metal alloys, and composite restorations
- Supports reliable adhesive bond strength without surface damage
- Refill format reduces packaging waste and supports high-volume practices
What is this product made of?
Ivoclean is formulated as an alkaline suspension containing zirconium oxide particles, water, polyethylene glycol, sodium hydroxide, and additives. The zirconium oxide particles create a concentration gradient that attracts and binds salivary phosphate contaminants, lifting them away from the restoration surface.
At-a-glance comparison:
- Ivoclean vs water rinse: significantly more effective removal of salivary phosphate contamination
- Chemical cleaning vs air-abrasion: preserves restoration surface integrity and geometry, easier application to complex internal surfaces
This formulation restores a clean, bond-ready surface before adhesive cementation while maintaining the integrity of pretreated restoration surfaces.
What is it used for?
Ivoclean is used extraorally after intraoral try-in and before cementation to clean indirect restorations. It is especially valuable when bonding zirconia and metal restorations, where salivary phosphate contamination can significantly reduce adhesion and cause debonding.
Common applications include:
- Zirconia crowns and bridges after intraoral try-in
- Lithium disilicate and glass-ceramic restorations (IPS e.max)
- Aluminum oxide ceramic restorations
- Precious metal and base metal alloy restorations
- Lab-fabricated composite restorations requiring adhesive cementation
Why you'll appreciate this product
