Revolutionary ionglassTM Technology

Riva Cem Automix features SDI’s revolutionary ionglassTM technology. This unique blend of different sized reactive glass particles harnesses ion-release to cross-link polycarboxylic acid chains. This focused ion release gives Riva Cem Automix a clinically higher strength, superior bond and more stable aesthetic properties. 

Riva Cem Automix is a self-curing, radiopaque, fluoride releasing paste/paste resin modified glass-ionomer luting cement. It is indicated for the permanent cementation of metal and ceramic restorations. The automix tip attachment offers convenience over traditional hand mixed cement systems.

SUPERIOR BOND STRENGTH 

Reliable adhesion to tooth structure is important for long term retention of cement restorations. Riva Cem Automix shows excellent bond strength to enamel and dentine in an external study conducted over a 6 month period. (Fig 1)

HIGHEST FLEXURAL STRENGTH  

A high flexural strength enhances the longevity of a cement restoration by better withstanding mastication forces.
Riva Cem Automix has high flexural strength which increases its durability in the oral environment.

LESS CEMENT WASTE  

Riva Cem Automix offers more tips than any other leading cement. Each supplied tip has less waste than other cements, providing you with more material for more patients. (Fig 3)

EASY REMOVAL OF EXCESS CEMENT  

Riva Cem Automix has a light tack cure option for easy removal of excess cement. Simply light tack cure any excess material for 5 seconds with an LED curing light. Then gently remove excess material. Alternatively, excess material can be removed after the self curing phase (1 min 30 seconds).

THE BEST LONG TERM AESTHETICS

Colour changes within luting materials can clinically affect the aesthetic appearance of a prosthesis. It is important to choose a dental cement which has the least colour change over time. External tests have confirmed that after 6 months of water storage, Riva Cem Automix has the best in class colour stability.

1. Ensure the internal surface of the restoration to be seated is cleaned, dried and prepared according to manufacturer’s instructions.


2. Apply cement to the restoration. Seat the restoration.


3. Light tack cure any excess material for 5 seconds per surface using a high power LED curing light (Radii Xpert, SDI Limited).


4. Gently remove excess material using a scaler or explorer.


5. Make sure the restoration is seated for 5 min.


Note: Excess can also be removed during self curing gel stage (when cement feels rubbery), after 1 min 30 seconds.
