What is TheraCal LC used for?

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.

What is TheraCal dental?

TheraCal PT® TheraCal PT is a biocompatible, dual-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate designed for pulpotomy treatment. TheraCal PT maintains tooth vitality by performing as a barrier and protectant of the dental pulpal complex.

How do you use TheraCal?

Apply TheraCal LC directly to the exposed pulp in incremental layers. Layer is not to exceed 1 mm in depth. Cover all the exposed areas and extend TheraCal LC at least 1 mm onto sound dentin surrounding the exposure. Light cure between layers.

Can TheraCal be used in primary teeth?

Thus, TheraCal LC could be a suitable indirect pulp-capping material for use in both primary and permanent teeth, but it should be used with caution due to induction of potentially adverse pulpal effects.

Do you etch with TheraCal?

Cover all moist effected surfaces with TheraCal LC, light-cure, and proceed with the bonding procedure (Figure 1). The tooth is then etched with either a total-etch or selective phosphoric-acid technique.

Why is TheraCal?

TheraCal LC helps protect the pulp as a thermal insulator5,6 and acts as a protective seal. It can be used as an alternative to calcium hydroxide, glass ionomer, RMGI, IRM/ZOE and other restorative materials. Clinicians can directly dispense TheraCal LC in 1 mm increments into deep preps onto moist dentin.

What is LC in dental?

Description. TheraCal LC is a light-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate material that performs as a barrier and protectant to the dental pulpal complex. It is indicated for direct and indirect pulp capping and as a protective base/liner under restorative materials including composite, amalgam and cements.

Can TheraCal be used for pulpotomy?

TheraCal PT is a biocompatible, dual-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate designed for pulpotomy treatment. TheraCal PT maintains tooth vitality by performing as a barrier and protectant of the dental pulpal complex.

Is TheraCal base or liner?

TheraCal LC is a light-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate filled liner designed for use in direct and indirect pulp cap- ping, as a protective base/liner under composites, amalgams, cements, and other base materials.

Does TheraCal have fluoride in it?

Glass ionomers and resin-modified glass ionomers have fluoride release but do not contain or release calcium.

Is TheraCal bioactive?

Their work showed that TheraCal is toxic to pulp fibroblasts and has a higher inflammatory effect and a lower bioactive potential than Biodentine. Jeanneau and her colleagues stated that upon their preclinical results, TheraCal cannot be recommended for direct pulp capping. Bakhtiar et al.

Is TheraCal a RMGI?

The light-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate filled material is an alternative to calcium hydroxide, glass ionomer, RMGI, IRM/ZOE, and other restorative materials. TheraCal LC exhibits several properties to help maintain ideal hard-tissue health and to reduce the incidence of postoperative sensitivity.
