• High Compressive Strength – Our Restorative Materials resists the high forces of compression in the mouth and are proven to have a very high compressive strength. (375MPa)

High Depth of Cure

• By matching the Refractive index of the Resin and the Filler temporarily, the Aura Bulk Fill allows deeper light penetration for a high depth of cure.
• The opacity of Aura Bulk Fill is a function of the difference in the refractive index of its two components, the filler and the resin

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.

seT PP - Self etching, self adhesive resin luting cement

SDI’s top rated cement

seT is a self etching, self adhesive, resin cement, designed for final cementation of metal, resin, all ceramic and ceramic based restoratives. seT chemically bonds to tooth structure and all types of core material. seT is available in capsules and a paste/paste automix syringe system (seT PP).

Radiopacity: High radiopacity detectable on x-ray radiographs, seT is great for recalls when margins are regularly checked for integrity.

No Bisphenol A or HEMA: seT does not contain any Bisphenol A (including its derivatives) or HEMA. Use this product on your patients with confidence and peace of mind.

Fast and easy: seT is an all in one luting cement. It etches, bonds and fills with just the one component. Simply apply seT and seat your restoration. seT produces a low film thickness and fluidity to seat cemented restorations.

High fluoride release: seT’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 harder than other tooth minerals. It helps to provide protection from tooth decay.

Dual cure: Designed to combine the advantages of light curing and self curing, seT is the ideal luting cement for most of your cementation needs

Minimal to no post- operative sensitivity: seT does not require separate etching and washing. The smear layer remains intact to protect the tooth. This dramatically reduces, if not eliminates, post-operative sensitivity.

Releases fluoride

• Conseal F combines the proven SDI sealant technology with an intensive initial fluoride boost in conjunction with long term fluoride treatment
  
  
• The unique Conseal f filler component, with its blend of particles and high surface-to-area volume ratios, enables high fluoride release. Fluoride enhances caries prevention, remineralization, and the inhibition of enamel demineralization.

Lowest viscosity

• Conseal F comes to you as the lowest viscosity fissure sealant on the market. The low viscosity allows our sealant to flow faster and deeper into the prepared pits and fissures.

• Conseal F’s fissure sealant has a tighter seal which optimizes the mechanical retention and eliminates any space for bacterial growth. Conseal f’s tight seal is further enhanced by its unique UDMA resin system’s lower shrinkage and by being BIS-GMA free.
  

Deepest penetration

•  Conseal F fissure sealant come equipped with pre-bent, superfine dispensing tips which help in speeding up the procedures via facilitated control and direct excursion. This also helps reach difficult areas for direct dispensing.
  
  
  Our Conseal F nozzle one third the size of other Dental brands, enhances complete sealing and retention by allowing penetration into the deepest pits and fissures; crevasses that will not admit the dispensing tips of other materials.

Hygienic placement

• Conseal f completely eliminates the risk of cross contamination by offering a direct and hygienic way of dispensing the sealant.

Bio compatible

• Conseal f’s low water solubility minimizes breakdown of the sealant in the oral environment. It is essential for any sealant to be averse to water solubility, and minimize breakdowns in the oral environment. 

Tip Size

• Conseal f syringe come with 27 gauge tip.

• Conseal f’s syringe tip diameter opening is only 0.41mm, significantly smaller than the alternatives of 1.5mm or 1.3mm

Stae - 5th Generation Bond

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.

• 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.
