SDI Riva Luting Powder Liquid Kit Glass Ionomer Luting Cement

• SDI 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 was 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 remineralisation 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 remineralisation.

High Flexural Strength

• High flexural strength enhances the 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 the restoration and the 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, and implants.
9. Light yellow shade
