KATANA
Cleaner

It is a universal cleaning solution suitable for all adhesive procedures.

For the purpose of cleaning the tooth structure and restorations, KATANA™ Cleaner is indicated for the following uses:
 

1. Cleaning of contaminated glass ceramic, zirconia, resin and metal restorations and fiber posts.

2. Cleaning of (contaminated) prepared tooth structure (cavity, root canal and tooth abutment), and implant abutment.

Due to its mild pH value of 4.5, KATANA™ Cleaner can be used not only extra-orally but also intra-orally, making it an all-purpose universal cleaner for both - tooth structure and prosthetics.

The “KATANA” brand has gained a worldwide reputation for offering reliable, durable and aesthetic materials for CAD/CAM restorations. Our KATANA™ products have been developed to complement each other and therefore deliver even more durable and aesthetic restoration results.

3. Proceed with bonding procedure.

KATANA™ Cleaner contains MDP Salt formed from the phosphate ester monomer, MDP and Triethanolamine. When applied to the tooth or prosthetic restoration surface, the hydrophobic group of MDP salt adheres to contamination, MDP salt weakens the surface tension of contamination and breaks it up. MDP salt surrounds contamination, floats from the surface of tooth and prosthetic restoration. Further break down occurs while in suspension and all that’s left to do is to rinse with water and dry.

KATANA™ Cleaner removes proteins and other contaminants by the surface-active effect of MDP Salt.

- Due to the alkalinity, proteins and other contaminants are decomposed and removed, but there is a high risk of invasiveness to the human body and it is limited to use extra-orally.

- The strong acid decomposes and removes contaminants such as proteins, but it causes decalcification of the tooth surface, which may reduce the bond strength of the adhesive material used.

No. KATANA™ Cleaner is a detergent and thus highly washable. That’s why it is expected that there will be no dye remaining.

Yes. Surfactant chemically lifts contaminants, but rubbing is necessary to remove them physically from the surface.

No. By rubbing for 10 seconds, sufficient decontamination effect is achieved.

Yes and it even has an extra benefit - KATANA™ Cleaner can be used intra-orally too. Ivoclean on the other hand, can be used only extra-orally due to its strong alkalinity.

Yes. Please follow the Instructions For Use provided by the manufacturer of the cement or bonding agent.

It can be used for a wide range of dental restorations such as glass ceramic, zirconia, resin and metal restorations and fiber post.

KATANA™ Cleaner does not have etching effect on prosthetics. Depending on the type of prosthetics material, it is necessary to make use of the recommended surface roughening treatment (f.e. hydrofluoric acid or sandblasting).

No. Use a silane such as CLEARFIL™ CERAMIC PRIMER PLUS additionally, if necessary.

Store at 2-25°C. Keep away from direct sunlight.

36 months from the date of manufacture.

Use within 10 minutes after dispensing in a mixing dish.

Bubbles may appear in the dispensed liquid due to the surface-active effect of the MDP Salt, which will not affect the product´s desired cleaning performance effect. Do not shake the bottle before use. When the bottle is shaken, bubbles may form and liquid may ooze out from the nozzle.
