Fall In Love With Glass Ionomers Again
Ditch the doubt and rediscover what a modern glass ionomer should feel like – superior strength, predictable handling and long-term protection. Riva Light Cure HV outperforms traditional RMGIs and delivers beautifully under real-world pressure, giving you confidence in every restoration – even when conditions are less than ideal.
The RMGI Upgrade You’ll Feel Immediately
Riva Light Cure HV delivers performance metrics crucial for today’s practice-strength, speed, and long-term protection.
No More Compromise
High-viscosity handling meets strength and predictability. Finally, a material that performs reliably without forcing you to trade one property for another.
Active Protection
Patented ionglass™ technology works continuously, supporting remineralisation and protecting teeth – so you can feel confident the restoration is doing more than just filling.
Flawless Handling
Non-sticky, non-slumping, sculptable – even in tricky quadrants or time-pressured appointments. The material adapts to your technique, not the other way around.
Effortless Capsule Activation
Easy Activation Capsules extrude more smoothly, reducing hand fatigue and giving precise control on every placement.
Why Dentists Are Moving Mountains For Riva
The gap between glass ionomer’s bioactivity and composite performance has officially closed. Don’t just take our word for it – see how Riva Light Cure HV challenges the status quo with superior performance where it matters most.
Designed for lasting performance, ionglass™ biomimetic technology reinforces restorations with high flexural strength, minimises micro-cracking, and maintains reliability under masticatory forces.

What Is ionglass™ biomimetic technology?
Riva Light Cure’s ionglass™ filler combines ultrafine, highly reactive bioactive glass particles that deliver long-lasting restorations with excellent handling, strength and aesthetics. Its fluoride- and strontium-releasing composition supports remineralisation, while its biomimetic, hydrophilic properties mimic dentine and enamel for natural translucency and chemical bonding – eliminating the need for etching or adhesive and reducing sensitivity.
