SDI's Riva Protect conventional glass ionomer can be used in the field of endodontics as an inter-appointment dressing. The pink shade in the fast set is a favourite with many clinicians due to its sealing ability, high fluoride release and high visibility for removal during visits.

Glass ionomer cements have the ability to bond to dentine and feature biocompatibility and radiopacity. Their ability to self adhere to dentinal walls enhances the sealing property of the cements and reinforces the tooth. Glass ionomers can also be used to seal and restore the pulp chamber, repairing perforations and sometimes to treat vertically fractured teeth.

Riva Protect is available in pink or white shades, is supplied in pre-dosed capsules and hand mix presentations and comes in regular or fast set.
