SDF (Silver Diamine Fluoride) has a proven clinical history of arresting caries and treating dentin hypersensitivity for over 50 years. Riva Star Aqua is the latest innovation to the SDF treatment category. The patented water based silver fluoride solution is not only antimicrobial, it is also a bio film eliminator and a powerful desensitizer.
Features/Benefits:
- Clinical Match to SDF: Clinical studies have shown that Riva Star Aqua’s 38% Silver Fluoride (AgF) is also as effective as Riva Star SDF solution containing 38% Silver Fluoride.
- Immediate Sensitivity Relief: The silver fluoride and potassium iodide in Riva Star Aqua blocks the microscopic tubules that make up dentin. A low-solubility precipitate is formed that gives instant relief.
- Reduce Staining: Just like Riva Star, Riva Star Aqua includes a Potassium Iodide (KI) Step 2 solution, for significantly reducing unsightly black stains.
- Two Years Desensitizing Effect: A clinical study supports the immediate effect after one application with Riva Star, desensitization lasts for 2 years.
- Effective Biofilm Inhibitor: Studies support that Riva Star is an effective Biofilm inhibitor. Riva Star has a higher inhibition zone against four bacterial species compared to sodium hypochlorite
- No Tissue Burn Risk: Riva Star Aqua is water based and ammonia free. This reduces soft tissue irritation and eliminates odors while improving storage stability.
- No Gingival Barrier Required: With no ammonia present, Riva Star Aqua can be safely used without a gingival barrier as soft tissue irritation is significantly reduced. Treatment time is quicker and more comfortable on patients.
- Improved Smell: The ammonia free solution tastes and smells better, leading to happier, more compliant patients.
