SDI Riva Star

FeaturesAntibacterial activity
Riva Star is an effective biofilm inhibitor.This is supported by study results from Otago University (NZ), that Riva Star has a higher inhibition zone against four bacterial species compared to sodium hypochlorite.Two years and beyond desensitising effect
Clinical studies support the immediate effect of Riva Star and its long term effect of over two years .
Non-invasive
Riva Star is essential for clinicians practising Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID)1-3,5. It conditions dentine and may assist tooth preservation.
Increasing bond strengths of GICs
Pre-treating tooth surfaces with Riva Star is a great way to enhance bonding of glass ionomers to dentine
Patented procedure
Unlike other silver fl uoride systems, Riva Star?s two step patented procedure minimises the risk of staining. By applying the potassium iodide solution over the silver fl uoride, a silver iodide creamy white precipitate is formed and washed off.DescriptionRiva Star is a new generation desensitiser that immediately relieves tooth sensitivity.

4. Dry teeth to be treated and adjoining gingival tissues
5. Apply a small amount of Gingival Barrier to the tissues, slightly overlapping the tooth (<1mm) and interproximal spaces 6. Light cure in a fanning motion. Note: Do not spot cure Gingival Barrier as this may cause burning of the soft tissues 7. Step 1: Using the silver brush provided, pierce through the foil of the silver capsule and carefully apply solution to treatment site only. 8. Step 2: Immediately after, use green brush provided, pierce through the foil of the green capsule and apply a generous amount of the solution to treatment site.
