Radiopacity
Wave, Wave MV and Wave HV are all visible on x-rays. This allows easy identification of secondary caries at the interface.

Fluoride release
Fluoride’s cariostatic effect enhances remineralization and inhibits enamel demineralization. In an aqueous environment, the fluoride ions in Wave, Wave MV and Wave HV diffuse from the resin into the surrounding tooth. This ionic movement is caused by oral fluid passing in and out of the resin and tooth, acting as a carrier for the fluoride ions.
