Description
Sdi Dental Riva Luting Cement Glass Ionomer 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 ionglassTM filler technology
Riva Luting utilises SDI’s proprietary ionglass™ filler developed by our glass technologists. ionglass™ 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.
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. The working time for glass ionomer cements is typically shorter than zinc phosphate or polycarboxylate cements. When mixed appropriately, the materials should have a glossy surface and should flow easily allowing complete seating of the restoration without having to exert firm and sustained pressure
Proven antimicrobial effect
Compared to other materials such as fluoride releasing resin cements, Riva Luting has proven antimicrobial activity against three cariogenic bacteria: Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus and Lactobacillus(2). There will be minimal loss of working time when using Riva Luting.
