SDI has launched Riva Cem Automix, a resin-modified glass ionomer cement designed for the permanent cementation of metal and ceramic restorations, including zirconia, porcelain, and orthodontic bands. This innovative cement leverages SDI’s ionglass technology, featuring a unique blend of reactive glass particles in various sizes that enable targeted ion release, which cross-links polycarboxylic acid chains to achieve a durable, stable bond.
Riva Cem Automix is self-curing and radiopaque, simplifying placement and ensuring high visibility on radiographs. Its ion-releasing capability contributes to a higher bond strength and enhanced durability, allowing for long-lasting restoration stability and improved esthetic retention. Additionally, the cement releases fluoride, supporting enamel health by promoting remineralization around the cemented area, which may reduce the risk of decay.
One of Riva Cem Automix’s practical advantages is its efficiency in application. SDI offers more applicator tips than competing brands, and its design minimizes waste—delivering up to 50% less tip waste than similar materials on the market. This efficiency not only supports a more eco-friendly workflow but also provides clinicians with better cost-effectiveness over time.
Riva Cem Automix promises a reliable, easy-to-use solution for dental professionals seeking high bond strength and durability for a variety of restorations. For further details, visit www.sdi.com.au/en-us or contact SDI at 800.228.5166.
