Features:
- Perfect for Minimally Invasive Dentistry: Riva Self Cure is ideal for minimally invasive dentistry (MID) as it is a bioactive material that helps prevent caries without the need for large cavities or undercuts, preserving natural tooth structure.
- Excellent Marginal Adaptation: Riva Self Cure provides long-term prevention against microleakage, making it suitable as both a restorative material and a base under permanent restorations. It is more effective in reducing microleakage compared to flowable resin, especially in occlusal and proximal areas.
- Bioactive Technology: Utilizing SDI’s proprietary ionglass™ filler, Riva Self Cure features a high ion-releasing, radiopaque, bioactive glass that significantly increases fluoride release, aiding in the remineralization of natural teeth.
- Efficient Bulk Filling: Riva Self Cure allows for bulk filling, reducing chairside time and enhancing efficiency during procedures.
- Superior Dentin Replacement: Riva Self Cure is an excellent substitute for missing dentin, closely mimicking its properties. It offers high compressive strength to withstand long-term chewing forces without the need for adhesives, ensuring no sensitivity.
- BPA and HEMA-Free: Riva Self Cure is free from Bisphenol A (and its derivatives) and HEMA, making it a safe choice for patients and offering peace of mind to practitioners.
- Variety in Viscosity: Riva Self Cure is available in different viscosities for versatile application; use the standard version for easy extrusion or Riva Self Cure HV for a highly packable, high-viscosity option.
- High Surface Hardness: Riva Self Cure boasts high surface hardness, providing greater resistance to abrasion and ensuring durability under high-stress conditions.
- Low Acid Erosion: With a low acid erosion value, Riva Self Cure enhances restoration longevity by resisting disintegration and wear caused by oral acidity, meeting the ISO Standard requirement of less than 0.17mm erosion.

A. CAVITY PREPARATION:
1. Clean and isolate tooth.
Note: A conservative cavity should be prepared, employing standard techniques and instruments. Undercuts are not necessary
2. In cases where pulp protection is necessary, use a calcium hydroxide liner
B. CONDITIONING / ETCHING:
1. Apply Riva Conditioner to the prepared surfaces and leave in cavity for 10 seconds
2. Rinse thoroughly with water
3. Remove excess water. Keep moist. Avoid contamination.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to completely dry the surface. Surface should be glistening
C. PROCEDURE FOR MIXING AND PLACING
CAPSULE SYSTEM:
1 Push the plunger on a hard surface until it flush with the body of the capsule. Important: Do not click with an applicator before you mix
2. Immediately place activated capsule into the Ultramat 2 amalgamator or any high speed capsule mixer (4000 – 4800 rpm)
3. Mix for 10 seconds
NOTE: The working time can be extended by decreasing the mixing time by no more than 3 seconds (i.e. minimum mixing time is 7 seconds)
4. Immediately remove the capsule and place into the Riva capsule applicator
5. Click the trigger of the Riva capsule applicator until glass ionomer paste is seen through the clear nozzle
6. Extrude Riva Self Cure into the cavity, being careful not to trap air under the restoration.
NOTE: Temperatures higher than 23±1˚C will shorten the working time specified in the above table
7. At the end of the working time, apply Riva Coat to all exposed surfaces of restoration
8. Light cure for 10 seconds.
POWDER / LIQUID SYSTEM (REGULAR SET ONLY)
1. Gently tap Riva Self Cure powder bottle on the hand. Using the plastic scoop provided, dispense one level measure of powder onto the mixing pad
2. Carefully dispense the recommended number of drops of Riva Self Cure Liquid next to the powder on the mixing pad. Replace cap tightly
3. Use a plastic spatula and divide the powder into two equal parts
4. Mix the liquid with one part of the powder for 10 seconds and then include the second part and continue mixing for another 15 to 20 seconds
5. Place mixed paste into the cavity, being careful not to trap air under or within the restoration. At 23ºC / 74ºF, the working time will be about two minutes
6. At the end of the working time, apply Riva Coat to all exposed surfaces of restoration
7. Light cure for 10 seconds
