BULK FILL GLASS HYBRID RESTORATIVE SYSTEM

ionglass for healthier teeth

Easy Activation

The new Easy Activation capsules are now 70% easier to activate. This saves you time and effort when preparing a restoration.

Drawing on 50 years of dental research experience, SDI’s ionglass filler was developed specially for Riva and is manufactured in Australia by our glass experts.

The ionglass technology mimics the natural tooth structure, guaranteeing restorations will withstand long term mastication forces and patients will be satisfied with the treatment.

Bioactive glass hybrid

Riva Self Cure contains ionglass filler, made of a unique blend of different sizes of ultrafine highly reactive glass particles.

This bioactive proprietary hybrid glass enables long term restorations, being outstanding in handling, strength and aesthetics.

The ionglass filler contains fluoride and strontium ions which synergistically enhance tooth bioremineralisation.

Superior biocompatibility ensures healthier teeth, the restoration will last longer and the patient will be more satisfied.

Riva Self Cure is biomimetic

Riva Self Cure replaces dentine, imitating some of its natural features. The ionglass technology for Riva Self Cure mimics dentine’s hydrophilic characteristic and coefficient of thermal expansion. To make the restoration time-efficient, no etching or adhesive is required. This dramatically reduces chair time for the dentist and the risk of sensitivity for the patient. A patient with a nice smile and no sensitivity has a better quality of life.

Superior Fluoride release

The extra strong hybrid matrix provides great fluoride release, increasing defense against caries, while having very low wear to enable the perfect long term bulk fill restoration every time.

Long term acid resistance

The ionglassTM technology stimulates the biomineralisation of dentine by over saturating the minerals in its organic matrix. The result is the formation of fluorapatite crystals, which are more resistant to acid attacks than the natural tooth, benefiting patients during bacterial and acidic challenges.

The ISO Standard 9917-1 dictates that a material cannot have acid erosion of more than 0.17mm. Riva Self Cure will resist acidic oral environments.

Beautiful handling

Riva Self Cure extrudes easily into the cavity with the innovative ionglassTM particles enabling creamier, non-stick and smoother handling. Polishability is made simple and long-term surface integrity is maintained. For an exceptional packable, high viscosity material, use Riva Self Cure HV.

Riva Self Cure has been independently evaluated as having superior handling. The unique formulation is less stringy or sticky, making placement quicker and easier.

Highest Radiopacity

Riva Self Cure ionglassTM offers significantly higher radiopacity than other restorative options of its category. On radiographs, the contrast between Riva Self Cure and dentine is evident on the tooth-restoration interface . This helps to diagnose and treat patients faster and more easily.
