Description

Riva Cem Automix is a self-curing, radiopaque, fluoride-releasing, paste/paste, resin-modified glass-ionomer luting cement which features ionglass technology.  This unique blend of different sized reactive glass particles harnesses ion release to cross-link polycarboxylic acid chains. This focused ion release gives Riva Cem Automix a clinically higher strength, superior bond and more stable esthetic properties.
