SDI Riva Light Cure Glass Ionomer Cement

• Combination of GIC advantages and composite advantages

  Riva Light Cure is a light-cured, resin-reinforced glass ionomer restorative cement. Glass ionomers release fluoride and chemically bond to the tooth structure whilst composites have excellent aesthetics. Riva Light Cure is a combination of both with excellent aesthetics, fluoride release and it chemically bonds to the tooth structure.

  Non-stick handling

  Riva Light Cure HV can be manipulated immediately after mixing. It is a very sculptable material. It does not stick to instruments and resists any initial threading traditionally found with a light cured GIC. Riva Light Cure HV does not lift off after placement, particularly in the maxillary position.

  Fabulous aesthetics

  Riva Light Cure’s translucency ensures aesthetics are maximised to enable natural looking restorations with chameleon effects. ”Riva Light Cure is the most translucent of the RMGIs tested”

  Great marginal adaptation

  Riva Light Cure is the answer to long term microleakage prevention. Use it as a restorative or a base under permanent restorations. “...light-cured and self-cured glass ionomer bases were more effective in reducing microleakage in both the occlusal and proximal cavo surfaces than a flowable resin

  Proprietary Bioactive technology

  Riva Light Cure utilises SDI’s proprietary ionglass™ filler developed by our glass technologists. ionglass™ is a radiopaque, high ion releasing, bioactive glass used in SDI’s range of glass ionomer products. Riva Light Cure releases fluoride to assist with remineralisation of the natural dentition.

  BPA free

  Riva Light Cure does not contain any Bisphenol A (BPA) or its derivatives. Use this product with confidence and peace of mind.

  Highest colour stability

  Riva Light Cure has excellent resistance to common stains such as black tea and red wine. Riva Light Cure absorbs about half as much color from these tannin-rich solutions.

  Long term wear resistance

  The surface hardness of resinreinforced glass ionomer cements means good long-term wear resistance. The greater the surface hardness, the greater the resistance to permanent surface indentation.

  Orange light safe tip

  Riva Light Cure’s capsule has a transparent orange nozzle. This protects the paste from curing under operating light in between placement.

  Simple procedure

  Riva Light Cure is quick and simple to place. No bonding procedure is required. It chemically bonds to the tooth and provides ion exchange to demineralised dentition.

  High flexural strength

  High flexural strength ensures reduced cracking and failure in flexion. Riva Light Cure has excellent flexural strength.

Directions To Use :

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING RIVA LIGHT CURE CAPSULES

PREPARATION:

1. Clean and isolate tooth.

Note: A conservative cavity should be prepared, employing standard techniques and instruments. Undercuts are not necessary

2. In cases where pulp protection is necessary, use a calcium hydroxide liner.

CONDITIONING / ETCHING:

1. Apply Riva Conditioner to the prepared surfaces and leave in cavity for 10 seconds

2. Rinse thoroughly with water

3. Remove excess water. Keep moist. Avoid contamination.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to completely dry the surface. Surface should be glistening.

PLACEMENT PROCEDURE: 

1. Activate the capsule by pushing the plunger until it is flush with the body. Important: Do not click with applicator before you mix

2. Immediately place the capsule into the Ultramat 2 amalgamator, or any other suitable mixer (4000-4800rpm), and triturate for 10 seconds

3. Immediately remove the capsule and place into the Riva applicator

4. Click the trigger of the Riva applicator until glass ionomer paste is seen through the clear nozzle

5. Fill Riva Light Cure into the cavity, being careful not to trap air under the restoration.

Note: At 23ºC/74ºF working time will be about 130 seconds (2’10’’) from the start of mixing. In situations above this temperature, working times will shorten. Adhesion strength will decrease if material is manipulated after this time. Use a layering technique for cavities deeper than 2 mm

6. Light cure for 20 seconds using the SDI Radii LED Curing Light or any other visible light-curing device (470 nm wavelength). Place light source as closely as possible to the cement surface.

7. Finish the restoration using standard techniques. Finishing may be commenced immediately after light curing. 8. Instruct patient not to eat for at least one hour after procedure

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING RIVA LIGHT CURE POWDER / LIQUID KITS

PREPARATION:

1. Clean and isolate tooth. Note: A conservative cavity should be prepared, employing standard techniques and instruments. Undercuts are not necessary

2. In cases where pulp protection is necessary, use a calcium hydroxide liner

CONDITIONING / ETCHING:

1. Apply Riva Conditioner to the prepared surfaces and leave in cavity for 10 seconds. OR Apply Super Etch 37% Phosphoric Acid to the prepared surfaces and leave in cavity for 5 seconds

2. Rinse thoroughly with water

3. Remove excess water. Keep moist. Avoid contamination.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to completely dry the surface. Surface should be glistening.

1. Gently tap Riva Light Cure powder jar on the hand

2. Dispense one level measure of powder onto the mixing pad/glass slab. Replace cap tightly

3. Dispense two drops of liquid onto the mixing pad/glass slab next to the powder. Quickly replace cap tightly

4. Divide the powder into two equal parts

5. Mix the liquid with one part of the powder for 10 seconds using a plastic spatula, then include the second part and mix for another 15 to 20 seconds. PLACEMENT

PROCEDURE

1.Place Riva Light Cure into the cavity, being careful not to trap air under or within the restoration.

Note: At 23°C/74°F working time will be about 120 seconds (2’00’’). In situations above this temperature, working times will shorten. Adhesion strength will decrease if material is manipulated after this time. Use a layering technique for cavity deeper than 2 mm

2. Light cure for 20 seconds using the SDI Radii LED Curing Light or any other visible light-curing device (470 nm wavelength). Place light source as closely as possible to the cement surface

3. Finish restoration using standard techniques. Finishing may be commenced immediately after light curing

4. Instruct patient not to eat for at least one hour after procedure

5. Exposure to strong lights during mixing and placement can reduce working time
