SDI’s Riva Light Cure, Riva Protect
SDI’s Riva Light Cure is a resin reinforced glass ionomer restorative. It has all the advantages of a true glass ionomer with the esthetic life-like look of a composite. The Riva Light Cure releases high levels of fluoride, resulting in increased anticariogenic properties and improved longevity of the restoration. It takes seconds to place. No etching, bonding or varnishing are required. Riva Light Cure is fabulous for using as a liner or a base. It’s also great for Class III, V and small class I and II restorations.
SDI’s Riva Protect is a glass ionomer surface protector and sealant with extremely high fluoride release. Riva Protect chemically bonds to the tooth surface without the need for etching or applying an adhesive. It has super high fluoride release. Riva Protect’s special nanotechnology additive amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) assists in re-mineralization of the tooth structure. ACP adds extra calcium and phosphate to the tooth interface, which combines with fluoride from the glass in Riva Protect to re-form the natural tooth structure. Riva Protect’s very low viscosity ensures the material will quickly and evenly flow over the tooth surface and deep into pits and fissures. The capsules are available in fast and regular setting time.
