Riva luting

Glass ionomer luting cement with fabulous fluoride release 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.

High flexural strength High flexural strength enhances 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.

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 remineralization.

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 times

There will be minimal loss of working time when using Riva Luting.

With adequate working time and a quick setting property, Riva Luting will shorten chair time and ensures early resistance.

Very low film thickness Riva Luting quickly flows into the preparation.

A low film thickness allows the seating of tight fitting indirect restorations.

Indications Cementation of metal or porcelain fused to metal inlays, onlays and crowns

Cementation of stainless steel crowns

Cementation of posts and screws

Attachment of metal orthodontic bands Lining
