Riva luting G.I.C. PtL SDI

Riva luting- Glass Ionomer Luting Cement

• Riva Luting is a conventional, self curing, glass ionomer luting cement designed for final cementation of metal based restorations It chemically bonds to metal substrates and the tooth.

Proprietary

• SDI’s proprietary ion glass™ filler developed by our glass technologists. Ion glass™ is a radiopaque, high ion releasing, reactive glass used in SDI’s range of dental cements. Riva Luting releases substantially higher fluoride to assist with remineralization of the natural dentition

Low Solubility

• Riva Luting has low solubility in the oral environment. This increases the material’s ability to resist disintegration and wear caused by oral acidity.

Setting Time

• Our quick setting property ensures minimal loss of working time.
• Riva Luting significantly shortens chair time and ensures early resistance

High Fluoride Release

• Riva Luting’s free movement of fluoride provides benefits to the tooth. Fluoride plays several significant roles in any caries – prevention program. These include the formation of fluorapatite, which is more acid resistant than hydroxyapatite. Fluorapatite is very important for tooth remineralization.

High Flexural Strength

• High flexural strength enhances longevity of a glass ionomer luting cement by withstanding mastication forces. Riva Luting’s high flexural strength increases its durability in the oral environment and long term ability to retain indirect restorations.

Very low film thickness

• Riva Luting quickly flows into the preparation. A low film thickness (17 microns) allows the seating of tight fitting indirect restorations.

Advantages

1. Chemically adheres to tooth structure and metal substrates
2. Very low film thickness – flows easily between restoration and tooth
3. Easy to clean up
4. Low water solubility – increased longevity and aesthetics
5. High bond strengths
6. High fluoride releasing and recharging ability
7. Bioactive proprietary ionglass™ technology – high ion exchange
8. Great for PFM crowns, metal posts, orthodontic bands, implants
9. Light yellow shade
