Description

Riva Star is a next generation SDF:

  • SDF + KI system
  • Unlike other silver diamine fluoride systems, Riva Star’s two-step procedure minimizes the risk of staining
  • Two-year and beyond desensitizing effect
  • Non-invasive and ideal for minimally invasive dentistry

Clinical Tips

  • Very good at determining caries missed at initial excavation.
  • It can be tempting to only place one application of the KI material, but make sure to place multiple applications until the white precipitate turns clear (around 90 seconds).
