SDI GS-80 Riva Star Capsules

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (CAPSULES)

Riva Star is a new generation desensitizer that immediately relieves tooth sensitivity.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:
Desensitising cervical tooth hypersensitivity.

CONTRA-INDICATIONS
Do not use on patients undergoing thyroid gland therapy, who have a history of chemical allergies such as silver, fluoride, potassium, iodine, ammonia and methacrylates. Note: If in doubt, consult a doctor or an allergy specialist before use.

PROCEDURE:

Using a non-fluoride prophylaxis paste in a rubber cup, clean the tooth/teeth to be treated and abutting teeth.
Assess condition of teeth. Only teeth with sound dentine and enamel should be treated.
Isolate area to be treated with cotton rolls.
Dry teeth to be treated and adjoining gingival tissues.
Apply a small amount of Gingival Barrier to the tissues, slightly overlapping the tooth (<1mm) and interproximal spaces. Light cure in a fanning motion. Note: Do not spot cure Gingival Barrier as this may cause burning of the soft tissues. Alternatively, a rubber dam can be used for isolation.
Protect any exposed gingival tissues and lips with petroleum jelly/cocoa butter taking care not to contaminate the treatment site.
Riva Star Step 1: Using the silver brush provided, pierce through the foil of the silver capsule and carefully apply the solution to the treatment site only.
Riva Star Step 2: Immediately after, use the green brush provided, pierce through the foil of the green capsule and apply a generous amount of the solution to the treatment site until the creamy white precipitate turns clear (if this precipitate does not turn clear staining may result).
Note: Apply same solution from the green capsule to any other tooth surfaces that may have come into contact with the solution from the Riva Star Step 1 capsule (silver capsule).
Blot dry.
Remove all protective/isolation materials used in the mouth.
Discard used capsules and brushes in accordance with local regulations.

DOSAGE:

Each Step 1 & Step 2 capsule can treat up to 5 teeth per patient.
Limit of one (1) Step 1 and one (1) Step 2 capsule per visit. If needed a second application of Riva Star may be administered after 1 week.

PRECAUTIONS:

For professional use only.
Do not repeat treatment on pregnant or lactating women.
The patient must be informed of potential staining prior to treatment.
Apply Gingival Barrier (SDI Limited) before applying Riva Star Step 1 solution (silver capsule) to avoid soft tissue burn.
Avoid contact of solution from the silver capsule (Step 1) with oral tissue, eyes and skin. If accidental contact occurs, refer to First Aid below.
Avoid contact of solution from the green capsule (Step 2) with eyes.
Do not desensitize teeth with soft dentine as staining may occur. Note: If it does occur, stained sites can be reduced by using a judicious polishing procedure with phosphoric acid impregnated pumice powder and then covered with a self-cure glass ionomer cement (such as Riva Self-Cure, SDI Limited).
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not ingest.
The solution from the silver capsule (Step 1) will stain (see “HANDLING STAINS”).
Wear gloves and eye protection when handling.
Single-use only.
Do not use after the expiry date.
Caution: Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a dentist.

or for at least 15 minutes.
Skin/oral soft tissue (contact) : Remove contaminated clothing, flush area with running water (in case an eschar is formed, this should disappear within 24-48 hours). Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Ingestion : Not expected due to dose volume. If affected, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of milk or water. For advice contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
Inhalation : Not expected due to dose volume. If affected, remove from contaminated area.

HANDLING STAINS:

Skin: Apply solution from green capsule with gentle rubbing. Stain will slowly disappear. (If nothing is done stain will gradually disappear after a few days).
Clothing: Soak in Napisan* (or other fabric stain remover) overnight and wash per normal.
Hard surfaces: Immediately apply household bleach (sodium hypochlorite) then wipe off with water. For stubborn stains, saturate a paper napkin with household bleach and place over affected area. Leave overnight and mop up with water.
