New Riva Bond LC counters composite shrinkage

SDI has launched Riva Bond LC, a 9th generation adhesive that dramatically reduces the polymerisation stress caused by composite shrinkage.

Riva Bond LC is a universal light cured adhesive for direct restorations. Until now, dentists have had no choice but to place a composite that they know will shrink and not be able to do anything about it. "The adhesive choice a dentist makes is critical for clinical success. For the first time ever, all dentists can now have a long lasting and sensitivity-free restoration," said Samantha Cheetham, SDI's Director of Sales & Marketing. "It is remarkably rewarding to see the launch of Riva Bond LC; there is no other adhesive that can achieve high bond strengths and significantly reduced stress at the restorative interface like Riva Bond LC," said Joshua Cheetham, SDI's Director of Research & Development. Riva Bond LC's unique Stress Reduction Technology incorporates bioactive ionglass with advanced glass ionomer resin technology ensuring minimal stress at all bonding interfaces.
