Riva Silver - Mercury free,  fluoride releasing,  silver restorative Material

When you need a tough and strong core build up material or occlusal restoration, Riva Silver is your answer. Riva Silver is an excellent core build up material and at the same time, it is a great restorative. Riva Silver is the ideal restorative in situations where patient compliance and moisture control are difficult. Riva Silver is extremely easy and quick to use. When all else fails, Riva Silver could be your solution.

Proprietary ionglass^TM technology

Riva Silver 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 Silver releases substantially higher fluoride to assist with remineralisation of the natural dentition.

Light colour

The light grey colour of Riva Silver requires minimal masking when used under aesthetic restorations.

Easy handling

Riva Silver’s condensable nature allows the operator to quickly and easily place the restoration. Riva Silver can be packed using an amalgam condenser.

Perfect for non-compliant patients

Riva Silver is the ideal restorative in situations where patient compliance and moisture control are difficult. Riva Silver is extremely easy and quick to use.

Great for core buildups

Riva Silver is an excellent material for core buildups. Its high early compressive and bond strength properties ensure favourable core buildup conditions

High early strength

Riva Silver’s high compressive strength minimises the risk of fracture in the critical early stages after the restoration has been placed.

High radiopacity

The addition of metal particles into the cement substantially increases radiopacity. Riva Silver is easily differentiated on radiographs from that of tooth structure allowing easy diagnosis of early lesions.

High fluoride release

Riva Silver’s free movement of fluoride provides benefits to surrounding and adjacent tooth surfaces. Fluoride is held within the glass matrix without being bound by the structure. If the level outside the matrix is lower, then fluoride ions are released.

Conversely, if the fluoride level is higher (eg. from topical fluoride) then fluoride will recharge the glass ionomer matrix. Riva Silver has the ability to be recharged with fluoride from external sources, providing long-term protection against recurrent caries. Riva Silver is great for treating high caries-risk patients as part of an overall treatment plan for maximum care.

No additional mixing step

The benefits of using Riva Silver capsules are obvious. However, if using the powder / liquid system, no separate adding and mixing of alloy into the powder is required. The alloy component of Riva Silver is pre-mixed into the powder bottle.

Riva Star- Two step patented SDF system

• Biofilm + sensitivity eliminator
• A STAR product containing three powerful components:

                 SILVER    IODIDE   FLOURIDE

• Caries arrest increased dramatically after re-application of 38% SDF from 1 year post treatment to 1.5 years and increasingly to 2-3 years

Why SDF use is growing around the world

• SDF has a proven clinical history of arresting caries and treating dentine hypersensitivity for over 50 years.
• Studies continue to confirm that a 38% SDF solution1 can arrest dental caries by minimising the loss of minerals and collagen destruction. Furthermore, the high concentration of silver and fluoride ions inhibits the growth of cariogenic biofilms.

How does SDF work?

AS CARIES INHIBITOR SDF + KI provides the following three active components to caries affected sites :

SILVER -  Silver compounds are used as an anti microbial agent in dentistry for more than a century.

FLUORIDE -  Works as a bacteriostatic effect to prevent the further demineralisation of tooth structure.

IODIDE - Potassium Iodide used in conjunction with SDF provides a powerful antimicrobial effect as well as reducing potential staining of teeth

SDF treatment is quicker and easier compared to invasive treatment methods.

• SDF treatment delivers Minimal Intervention Dentistry that adopts the philosophy of integrating prevention, remineralisation and less invasive procedures.

Defence Against Clinical Variability

Zipbond Universal is a single component fluoride releasing universal adhesive, compatible with self etch, selective etch and total etch techniques. In the presence of varied tooth structure and an abundance of restorative choices, Zipbond Universal achieves reproducible and reliable bond strengths..

Consistent Bond Strengths

Zipbond Universal achieves successful bond strengths across dentine and enamel using self etch and total etch techniques.

• Zipbond Universal has minimal fluctuation in bond strength using the total etch technique on enamel, demonstrating the ability to achieve predictable results in each use.
• The heterogenous nature of dentine and variability in mineral and water content adds complexity to dentin bonding.
• The carefully selected chemistry of Zipbond Universal overcomes the challenges associated with dentin bonding to provide strong and reproducible bond strengths in self etch and total etch techniques.
• Select Zipbond Universal for consistent adhesion, predictable clinical outcomes.
  

Predictable Bond Strengths to Indirect Substrates

Zipbond Universal achieves high bond strengths to composite, ceramic, porcelain and metal substrates.

• Bond strength across indirect substrates is comparable, highlighting reliable adhesion for these restorative situations.
• Use Zipbond Universal, together with your preferred indirect restorative material, with confidence.

Proprietary combination of adhesive monomers

Zipbond Universal contains two adhesive monomers that work in harmony to deliver a durable and robust bond. A proprietary combination of monomers, including the MDP monomer, makes adhesion effective on enamel, dentin and a range of indirect substrates.

• The adhesive monomers contain hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. Hydrophilic monomers quickly infiltrate into enamel and dentine tubules.
• Effective wettability is achieved as the adhesive spreads homogenously over the tooth surface, offering a complete seal of dentine tubules.
• Upon curing, the hydrophobic monomers reduce the permeability of water to create a sound interface and strong interaction between tooth and substrate.

Features

Exceptional control: Controlled handling, optimal film thickness and increased bond strength is achieved by the incorporation of nanofillers. Zipbond Universal is easy to apply in a homogenous thin layer. Indirect restorations can be seated with precision to deliver an unobstructed seal against the tooth.
Highly aesthetic: The adhesive is visible upon placement and virtually invisible on dentin after it is cured. It is ideal for use in aesthetic zones with bleach and translucent restorative materials.
Fluoride releasing: The primary factor in the premature failure of moderate to large composite restorations is secondary decay at the margins of the restorations. Zipbond Universal is fluoride releasing to protect the tooth-restorative interface against demineralisation. An effective marginal seal that fights recurrent decay results in a longer lasting restoration.
Pleasant aroma: Zipbond Universal is mild in its aroma to support your patients comfort during restorative procedures. 

Clinical Tips

• Try it as a desensitizer, as well as for bonding.
• The light color makes it great for anterior esthetics.
