TheraCal - Model LC -Resin-Modified Calcium Silicate Pulp Protectant/Liner

TheraCal LC is a light-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate filled liner designed for use in direct and indirect pulp capping and as a protective liner under composites, amalgams, cements, and other base materials. It can be used as an alternative 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’s precise placement allows its use in all deep cavity preparations. The light-cured set permits immediate placement and condensation of the restorative material. Its proprietary formulation allows for a command set with a light curing unit while maintaining ease of placement due to thixotropic properties. The proprietary hydrophilic resin formulation creates a stable and durable liner.

Clinical Significance:

• The proprietary formulation of TheraCal LC consists of tri-calcium silicate particles in a hydrophilic monomer that provides significant calcium release* making it a uniquely stable and durable material as a liner or base

• Calcium release stimulates^1* hydroxyapatite and secondary dentin bridge formation^2,3
• Alkaline pH promotes healing and apatite formation^2,4
• Significant calcium release¹ leads to protective seal^5,7,8
• Protects and insulates the pulp^5,6
• Moisture tolerant¹ and radiopaque – can be placed under restorative materials and cements

Pulp Capping Agent

Designed for use in direct and indirect pulp capping.

Protective Liner

Performs as an ideal protective liner under composites, amalgams, cements, and other base materials.

Protective Seal

Significant calcium release1** leads to protective seal.5,7,8

Calcium Release

Calcium release stimulates1* hydroxyapatite and secondary bridge formation.2,3

Alkaline pH

Alkaline pH promotes pulp vitality.4

Insulation

Forms a protective barrier to protect the pulp from thermal changes.5,6

Radiopaque

Visible on radiographs to easily distinguish caries.

Light-Cured

Light cured material, which permits immediate placement of restorative material.

Versatility

Can be used with all etch techniques (self-, selective-, and total-etch) for optimal bonding and finishing of the restoration.

Moisture Tolerant

Moisture Tolerant1 Unlike calcium hydroxide, TheraCal LC has low solubility and will not wash out over time.

Easy Syringe Application

Easy and fast syringe delivery offers controlled and precise placement. Material is easy to manipulate without dripping or slumping.

Time Saver

Can be directly applied to the pulp exposure and be used as a liner in the same prep, with no need for two separate products.
