Riva Light Cure HV is a high-viscosity resin-reinforced glass ionomer restorative cement from SDI. The Riva Light Cure product line combines the fluoride release and strong chemical bond of glass ionomers with the esthetics of composites.
With excellent handling properties, Riva Light Cure HV is very sculptable and does not stick to instruments. In addition, it’s formulated with SDI’s proprietary ionglass filler, which is a radiopaque, high ion-releasing, bioactive glass.
Your Peers’ Favorite Features
When Dental Product Shopper evaluators tried Riva Light Cure HV, ease of handling was the highest-rated feature, followed by speed of technique/procedure—which makes sense, as the two benefits go hand in hand. The material can be manipulated immediately after mixing and resists any initial threading traditionally found with a light-cured glass ionomer cement. It is formulated not to lift off after placement, particularly in the maxillary position. No bonding is required because the material chemically bonds to the tooth and provides ion exchange to demineralized dentition. Riva Light Cure HV demonstrates high flexural strength to ensure reduced cracking and failure in flexion. Esthetically, it enables natural-looking restorations with chameleon effects and resists common stains such as black tea and red wine. Riva Light Cure HV is available in 5 shades: A1, A2, A3, A3.5, and B1.
