Description :
Ivoclar N Etch is a 37% phosphoric acid etching gel used for enamel etching and dentin conditioning in restorative and adhesive dentistry. It is part of the total-etch technique, where both enamel and dentin are conditioned before applying a dental adhesive.
Key Features :
Composition: The gel contains 37% phosphoric acid in an aqueous solution, along with thickening agents and blue pigments.
Distinct Blue Color: The deep blue hue provides a strong visual contrast against the tooth structure, which helps to ensure precise application and minimize the risk of over-etching.
Optimal Consistency: It has a consistent, non-slumping viscosity that stays exactly where it is placed. This allows for controlled and effective application.
Precise Application Tip: The product is delivered via an angled metal tip that allows for exact placement, especially in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth.
Specification :
Ivoclar N Etch is used in the total-etch technique for a variety of dental procedures, including:
Composite restorations: For conditioning the tooth surface prior to placing direct composite fillings.
Fissure sealants: To prepare the occlusal surfaces for the application of fissure sealants.
Adhesive luting: For conditioning tooth surfaces before the adhesive cementation of indirect restorations, such as inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges made of all-ceramic or composite materials.
Orthodontic appliances: For bonding orthodontic brackets and other appliances to the enamel.
Packaging :
a) 2 x 2g Syr with tips
b) 1 x 30g Jumbo Syr with tips
Description :
Ivoclar Liquid Strips is a glycerin-based gel used in dental restorations to create an oxygen-inhibited barrier during the final light-curing of composite materials. By creating an oxygen-free environment, it ensures complete polymerization of the surface, which improves the final properties of the restoration.
Features :
Composition: Ivoclar Liquid Strips is a clear, biocompatible, glycerin-based gel.
Packaging: It is typically available in a syringe with application tips for precise and easy application.
Mechanism: When exposed to air, the final surface layer of light-cured composite resin does not fully polymerize, resulting in a thin, soft, "oxygen-inhibited layer". Ivoclar Liquid Strips prevents this by blocking the oxygen on the restoration's surface during the final light-curing process.
Key Specification :
Ivoclar Liquid Strips is indicated for use in both composite and ceramic dental restorations. Specific applications include:
Light-cured composite restorations: Used to ensure the complete polymerization of the final surface layer in direct composite fillings.
Cementation of restorations: Applied to the margins of indirect restorations like inlays, onlays, and veneers during cementation with a resin luting agent.
Protects the etching pattern: Used to protect the delicate etched surface of lab-fabricated, all-ceramic restorations during try-in and cementation.
Try-in paste for ceramic and composite restorations: The glycerin gel can fill the cement gap during a try-in to simulate the influence of the luting composite on the restoration's final shade.
Packaging :
1 x 2.5g Syr
Description :
Ivoclar Ivoclean is a universal cleaning paste designed to effectively clean the bonding surfaces of dental restorations that have been contaminated by saliva during intraoral try-in. This process is crucial for ensuring a strong and durable bond between the restoration and the luting material.
Features :
Composition: It consists of a dispersion of metal oxide (zirconia) particles in water.
Mechanism of action: The zirconia particles in Ivoclean have a high affinity for the phosphate particles found in saliva. This allows Ivoclean to pull the salivary contaminants away from the restoration surface.
Cleaning time: The paste needs to be applied and left to act for only 20 seconds.
Application: It is applied with a microbrush or brush, then thoroughly rinsed with water and dried with oil-free air.
Post-cleaning: After cleaning, the restoration should not be re-contaminated with saliva or blood. If contamination occurs, the entire procedure must be repeated.
Key Specification :
Ivoclean is indicated for the extraoral cleaning of prosthetic restorations after they have been tried in the patient's mouth and are potentially contaminated with saliva. It is universal and can be used on various restorative materials, including:
Glass-ceramics
Zirconia oxide ceramics
Aluminum oxide ceramics
Precious metal alloys
Base metal alloys
Lab-fabricated composite restorations
Packaging :
1 x 5g Bottle
Description :
IPS Ceramic Etching Gel is a hydrofluoric acid-based etching gel manufactured by Ivoclar for the surface treatment of glass-ceramic restorations. It is a toxic and corrosive material designed for extraoral use only, meaning it should never be applied inside a patient's mouth.
Features :
Composition: Contains approximately 5% hydrofluoric acid (HF).
Appearance: A viscous, red-colored gel for easy visibility during application.
Action: Creates a micro-retentive surface on the glass-ceramic, which increases the surface area and enhances the bond strength between the ceramic and composite cement.
Key Specification :
IPS Ceramic Etching Gel is indicated for the extraoral etching of glass-ceramic restorations to increase surface micro-retentions and improve bonding prior to cementation. It is used for the following types of restorations:
All-ceramic restorations
Leucite ceramics
Lithium disilicate ceramics (e.g., IPS e.max Press and CAD)
Fluorapatite ceramics
IPS Empress Esthetic and CAD
IPS Classic and IPS InLine
Packaging :
1 x 5g Bottle
Description :
Ivoclar Eco-Etch is a phosphoric acid gel used in dentistry for etching enamel and conditioning dentin to improve adhesion in restorative procedures. It is specifically formulated for the total-etch technique and is designed to work in conjunction with Ivoclar's Te-Econom Bond.
Features :
High etching efficiency: Ensures reliable and effective preparation of enamel and dentin surfaces for optimal bond strength.
Optimal concentration: The 37% phosphoric acid concentration provides precise and consistent etching results.
Controlled viscosity: The gel consistency allows for easy and controlled placement, preventing the etchant from running onto adjacent tissues.
Key Specification :
Eco-Etch is indicated for preparing tooth surfaces prior to placing a variety of dental restorations:
Composite restorations (Classes I–V)
Adhesive cementation of indirect restorations like inlays, onlays, crowns, and veneers
Bonding of orthodontic attachments, such as brackets
Pit and fissure sealing
