Riva Bond LC

Product Description

Riva Bond LC can to achieve a high bond strength through chemical adhesion and by compensating for polymerization shrinkage. Riva Bond LC’s unique Stress Reduction Technology (SRT) incorporates the aforementioned ionglass technology with advanced glass ionomer resin technology, which translates to minimal stress at all bonding interfaces. According to SDI, contraction stress is completely eliminated by selective hygroscopic expansion and water absorption of the thin adhesive layer. Less stress means a stronger, more durable restoration and less patient sensitivity. And since it compensates for shrinkage, Riva Bond LC is ideal for use during bulk fill procedures, which tend to shrink more. It does not have any marginal staining, either. Riva Bond LC is available in capsules and comes packaged 50 to a box, including accessories and a mixing well.
