Riva Protect research
Riva Protect - a conventional, self curing glass-ionomer sealant and tooth protector.
To measure the fluoride release and the change in weight, in deionised distilled water, of two restorative materials: Riva Silver and Riva LC and two fissure sealants: Riva Protect, Fuji Triage. The plan is to carry out this study over the scope of three years. Throughout the study (except on day 360) and in decreasing order, Riva Protect and Fuji Triage glass ionomer cement materials released significantly greater amounts of fluoride than Riva Silver and Riva LC. On day 360 Fuji Triage started releasing lower levels of fluoride than Riva Silver.
Riva Protect has the highest fluoride release among the four products studied. Indirizzo e-mail protetto dal bots spam , deve abilitare Javascript per vederlo
seT, THE DENTAL ADVISOR, Volume 25, No.8, Oct. 2008.
seT is a self-etching, self-adhesive, fluoride relasing, dual-cured resin cement that was evaluated by The Dental Advisor's consultants and received a 96% clinical rating! Many consultants rated the flow of the cement to be very good, had a nice viscosity and great adaptation to walls and posts. They found the mixed cement easy to use and cleans up nicely – a five plus rating!
Perry R, Carey J, Defuria C, Orfanidis. Stark P; Bonded and Self-Adhesive Cements' Bond Strength between Zirconia-Crowns and Dentin; Tufts University, USA, Abstract #0970, Toronto IADR 2008.
Objective: To examine the retention strengths of two different cement types—Bonded Resin Cements and Self-Adhesive Resin Cements— between zirconia crowns and dentin in vitro. The following groups were tested:
Group 1: Self-Etch/Self-Adhesive Resin-Cement: Set (SDI)
Group 2: Self-Etch/Self-Adhesive-Resin-Cement: Maxcem (Kerr) Group 3: Self-Adhesive-Resin-Cement: Rely-X Unicem Clicker (3M ESPE)
Methods: Fifty-one extracted human molars were
prepped for all-ceramic crowns. The crowns were cemented according to
manufacturers' directions for each of the three cement groups (N=17).
Cemented teeth were stored in distilled water for 3 days at 37°C and
then thermocycled for 300 cycles between 5°C and 55°C with a dwell of
30 seconds. Instron machine with crosshead speed of 5mm/min was used to
pull the crowns until failure.
Results: The strength data was compared using
one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The p-value of 0.086 suggests
that there is no statistically significant difference among the 3
groups. The average bond strengths were Group 3=316.8N, Group 1=284.4N,
and Group 2 =208.7N.
seT 18 month Clinical Peformance, THE DENTAL ADVISOR, Volume 27, No.7, Sept. 2010.
A total of 314 restorations were cemented over a 20-month period using seT. All of the restorations were all-ceramic restorations with the exception of one PFM crown. Of the 314 restorations, there were nine inlays/onlays, 47 anterior crowns and 258 posterior crowns. One hundred and ninety-eight restorations were recalled - 176 at 18 months and 22 at 12 months.
Results:
Marginal Discoloration - Resistance to marginal discoloration was excellent with a 96% rating.
Sensitivity - Lack of sensitivity was excellent with a 96% rating.
Retention - Resistance to debonding was excellent with a 96% rating.
seT is a user-friendly, reliable self-adhesive resin cement resulting in minimal marginal staining, post operative sensitivity and a high retention rate, when used in the cementation of all-ceramic restorations.
