Kuraray Noritake Announces New KATANA™ Cleaner
Introducing the All-purpose, Universal Cleaner for Extra-oral and Intra-oral Use on Tooth Structure and Prosthetics
New York, NY– Kuraray Noritake has once again reinvented a dental category by launching its latest innovation: KATANA™ Intra-oral and Restoration Cleaner.
One common problem encountered during the trial fitting of a restoration is the weakening of bond strength after cementation. This happens as a result of contamination from saliva and blood in the oral cavity. With new KATANA Cleaner, this obstacle is virtually eliminated, thanks to its thoughtful formulation. KATANA Cleaner has a high cleaning effect due to its surface-active characteristic MDP Salt and has a low pH value of 4.5 that enables use extra-orally and intra-orally.
KATANA Cleaner is a true all-purpose, universal cleaning agent indicated for tooth structure, including cavities, abutments, and root canals; and prosthetics, such as ceramics, resin-based materials, metals, and posts. Workflow with KATANA Cleaner is easy and fast, allowing clinicians to use it with confidence in just about any case. All it takes is two steps before cementation: (1) Apply and rub KATANA Cleaner and (2) rise and dry. Additionally, KATANA Cleaner only takes 10 seconds of rubbing time, unlike other cleaners that require more time.
“Kuraray Noritake has created the ultimate cleaning agent in KATANA Cleaner,” says Dr. Matt Nejad. “Other products I’ve used in the past weren’t as effective and left my bond strengths compromised.” When asked what differentiates KATANA Cleaner from other cleaning agents, Dr.Nejad continues, “KATANA Cleaner has an active ingredient of MDP Salt, and that’s what really makes the difference vs cleaners that use Sodium Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide. The MDP Salt gives KATANA Cleaner its high cleaning effect and helps keep bond strengths sturdy and reliable for my peace of mind and patients’.”
“Kuraray Noritake has transformed itself into what it is today: a multidimensional business entity with the high caliber to offer products and technologies to a wide range of industries,” said Dr. Dinesh Weerasinghe, Senior Technical and Marketing Manager at Kuraray Noritake. “We are committed to our partnership with the dental community and will continue to serve them with innovative solutions that help them provide better care to their patients. KATANA Cleaner is yet another solution professionals can rely on for strength, efficacy, and the ability to perform as a true universal cleaning agent in dentition or prosthetic cases.”
