Riva Star Tooth Desensitizer Bottle Kit (Rx) SDI 8800537

Features & Benefits:

• Riva star is a new generation desensitizer which immediately removes tooth sensitivity.
• Sdf +ki = smart desensitizing agent.
• Clinically tested & proven for decades
• Aesthetically pleasing for the patient – reduced staining
• Immediate dentinal hypersensitivity relief for adults over the age of 21
• Non-invasive – suitable for MID
• Patented Technology

Riva Star – Two years and beyond desensitizing effect:

• Clinical studies support the immediate effect of Riva Star and its long-term effect of over two years.

Riva Star – Patented procedure:

• Unlike other silver fluoride systems, Riva Star’s two step patented procedure minimizes the risk of staining. By applying the potassium iodide solution over the silver fluoride solution, a silver iodide precipitate is formed.

Riva Star – Increasing bond strengths of GICs:

• Pre-treating tooth surfaces with Riva Star is a great way to enhance bonding of glass ionomers to dentin.
• Riva Star Bottle kit contains - 1 x 1.5mL Riva Star Bottle Step 1, 1 x 3mL Riva Star Bottle Step 2.
• SDF has a proven clinical history of arresting caries and treating dentine hypersensitivity for over 50 years. Studies continue to confirm that a 38% SDF solution1 can arrest dental caries by minimising the loss of minerals and collagen destruction. Furthermore, the high concentration of silver and fluoride ions inhibits the growth of cariogenic biofilms.
• SILVER - Silver compounds are used as an anti-microbial agent in dentistry for more than a century.
• FLUORIDE - Works as a bacteriostatic effect to prevent the further demineralisation of tooth structure.
• IODIDE - Potassium Iodide used in conjunction with SDF provides a powerful antimicrobial effect as well as reducing potential staining of teeth.
• SDF treatment is quicker and easier compared to invasive treatment methods. SDF treatment delivers Minimal Intervention Dentistry that adopts the philosophy of integrating prevention, remineralisation and less invasive procedures.
• Stabilisation/arrest of caries into dentine in deciduous teeth e.g. may
• avoid the need for hospital admission (GA/Sedation)
• Stabilisation/arrest of caries in elderly patients e.g. root caries
• Quick and easy application makes it useful for patients who are: vulnerable, uncooperative, have behavioural problems and those with limited access to conventional dental treatment.
• Relief of symptoms from carious cavities (especially occlusal lesions)
• Inexpensive and obviates the need for local anaesthesia Promotes minimally invasive cavity preparation (eliminating the need for extensive caries excavation)
• Minimises the need for aerosol generating procedures
• Acclimatisation to dental treatment and stabilisation of multiple lesions Remineralisation of incipient carious lesions (2-3 times more fluoride concentration than sodium fluoride varnish)
• Endodontic irrigation and inter-appointment medicament
• Immediate Sensitivity Relief - The silver fluoride and potassium iodide in Riva Star blocks the microscopic tubules that make up dentine. A low-solubility precipitate is formed that gives instant relief.
• Two Years Desensitising Effect - A clinical study supports the immediate effect after one application with Riva Star, desensitisation lasts for 2 years.
• Effective Biofilm Inhibitor - Studies support that Riva Star is an effective Biofilm inhibitor. Riva Star has higher inhibition zones against four bacterial species (E.faecalis, S.gordonni, S.mutans, S.mitis) compared to sodium hypochlorite.

Application:

• Desensitising cervical tooth hypersensitivity.
