Product Description

Theracal™ LC is a light-cured flowable resin containing Calcium Silicates. It is the first of a new class of internal flowable pulpal protectant materials known as Resin Modified Calcium Silicates (RMCS) used in direct and indirect pulp capping and as a protective base/liner under composites, amalgams, cements, and other base materials. It can be used as a replacement to calcium hydroxide, glass ionomer, RMGI, IRM/ZOE and other restorative materials. TheraCal LC performs as a barrier and protectant of the dental pulpal complex.

Theracal LC provides the ideal alkalinity required of healing. This product features an impressive calcium release that has been shown to be crucial to the promotion of apatite formation, secondary dentin bridge formation, to re-apatite potential of affected dentin and for the mechanical sealing of the pulp.

TheraCal LC’s precise placement allows its use in all deep cavity preparations and the light-cured set permits immediate placement of the restorative material. Its proprietary formulation allows for a command set while maintaining ease of placement due to thixotropic properties. TheraCal LC’s proprietary hydrophilic resin formulation creates a stable and durable liner or base.
