Claims17
A method for cleaning dental materials, comprising contacting a composition, comprising a carrier medium and particles based on a metal compound having a weight-average particle diameter of 1 nm to 10 μm with a metal or ceramic surface which is part of a dental restoration or of an implant abutment and moving the composition on the surface.
Cleaning composition, comprising
- (i) 5 to 35 wt.-% particles with a weight-average particle diameter of 1 to 100 nm based on a metal compound which is selected from aluminium oxide, aluminium oxide hydroxide, zirconium dioxide, titanium dioxide and mixtures thereof,
- (ii) 65 to 95 wt.-% water or aqueous solution with a pH in the range from 7 to 14, and
- (iii) 0 to 5 wt.-% optional constituents.
