Cementation
When a fixed restoration is tried in the patient‘s mouth it comes in contact with saliva. The phosphate groups in the saliva bind to zirconia oxide and cannot be rinsed out with water. The only way to successfully remove these phosphate groups from the interior of a fixed restoration is with the use of Ivoclean (Ivoclar Vivadent); or, lightly air abrade the inlay with 25 micron aluminum oxide (Al
2O
3).
- Try-in zirconia-based restoration
- Rinse saliva out of restoration with water
- Place Ivoclean in restoration for 20 seconds, rinse and dry
- Apply primer and then cement with product of your choice
