With Riva Self Cure HV, the Australian company SDI is pre- senting a high viscosity, ex- tremely strong self-curing glass ionomer restorative at IDEM, which is strong enough to resist surface indentation and to with- stand substantial mechanical loads. Among other things, it can be bulk placed and does not ad- here to your instruments. In addi- tion,RivaSelfCureHV’spackabil- ity is supposed to make restora- tions easy to shape and contour. Riva Self Cure HV can also be used to replace missing dentin. According to SDI, it is the best dental material currently avail- able that virtually mimics dentin. Sensitivity is non-existent and no adhesive is required, the company added. Riva Self Cure HV releases sig- nificantamountoffluorideresult- ing in increased anti-cariogenic propertiesforimprovedlongevity of the restoration. It is currently available in shades A1, A2, A3 and A3.5. SDI, AUSTRALIA www.sdi.com.au Booth 6P-16 The global provider of implant dentistry solutions Straumann hasannouncedthatitsinnovative implant material Roxolid will soon be available in all South East Asian markets. The new broad- ened Roxolid SLActive implant portfolio will be rolled out across the region by the end of 2014, the company said. At IDEM, Roxolid will be pre- sented for the first time on all diameters and all implant lines in Asia. Furthermore, Straumann will showcase a new 4 mm short line to overcome clinical cases with limited vertical space, as for severely atrophic jaw bone. All Roxolid SLActive implants feature the new Loxim transfer piece to simplify the handling. According to Straumann, the combination of the high mechani- cal strength of Roxolid with the advanced osseointegration prop- erties of the hydrophilic SLActive surface allows dental profession- als to avoid GBR procedures by choosing smaller sized implants which can reduce the invasive- ness of implant treatments and increase patient acceptance be- cause invasive grafting proce- durescanbeeliminated.Thisway, clinicians will be able to reduce treatment time, preserve vital peri-implant structures and de- crease post-surgical complica- tions. New implant patients can also be attracted to the practice by offering products that avoid the need for invasive and costly GBR procedures, the company added. All implants are covered by Straumann’s lifelong implant warranty. Composed of titanium and zir - conium, Roxolid was specifically designed for use in dental implan- tology. The material has been suc- cessfully used by clinicians world- wide during the last four years and, according to Straumann, the vast majority of them are fully convinced of the advantages of this innovation. Mechanical tests have demonstrated a significantly higher tensile strength of Roxolid compared to annealed or cold workedtitanium.Furthermore,dy- namic fatigue strength tests have demonstrated that i.e. Ø 3.3 mm Tissue Level Roxolid implants are stronger than Ø 4.1 mm Tissue Level Titanium implants and that Ø 4.1 mm Bone Level Roxolid im- plants are stronger than Ø 4.8 mm Bone Level Titanium implants. The outstanding performance ofSLActivewasalsodemonstrated in various pre-clinical and clinical studies. Roxolid implants have not only shown superior capabilities for osseointegration compared to TitaniumSLActiveimplants;these properties have were also demon- strated for the first time in a com- promised model.
