No sensitivity
Moisture tolerant – Simplified technique
Light cure and self-cure
No sensitivity
Description:
ACTIVA™ KIDS is an esthetic, BioACTIVE resin restorative that stimulates apatite formation and the natural remineralization process with release and recharge of calcium, phosphate and fluoride. It is an opaque white shade ideally suited for pediatric dentistry.
ACTIVA is the first bioactive restorative with an ionic resin matrix, a shock-absorbing resin component, and bioactive fillers that mimic the physical and chemical properties of natural teeth. It delivers all the benefits of glass ionomers and has the esthetics, strength, and durability of composites. ACTIVA KIDS bonds and masks silver diamine fluoride stains.
ACTIVA is safe for children and contains no BPA, no Bis-GMA and no BPA derivatives.
ACTIVA KIDS is a dynamic material that continuously reacts to pH changes in the mouth and actively participates in the ionic exchange with saliva and tooth structure that is essential for maintaining healthy teeth.
