Consultants’ Comments

  • “I really liked that it did not discolor the tooth, and that a tissue barrier is not required. That is a huge advantage.” 
  • “No staining and no refrigeration.”
  • “Very effective as a desensitizer.”
  • “Much less tissue irritation than the original formulation.”
  • “Easy to use two-step procedure.”
  • “No ammonia base is important to me.”
  • “Second step takes a lot longer scrubbing time than the first step.”
  • “I found that even though a tissue barrier is not required, it is best to avoid the tissue or some slight irritation can occur.”

  • Water-based SF + KI system
  • Unlike other systems, Riva Star Aqua’s two-step procedure reduces staining
  • Two year and beyond desensitizing effect
  • Non-invasive and ideal for minimally invasive dentistry

Clinical Tips
