TheraCal LC is a light-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate pulp protectant and liner designed for direct and indirect pulp protection in restorative dentistry. It is supplied in a syringe for controlled application and is light-cured after placement, providing a protective barrier between the dental pulp and restorative materials or external irritants.
TheraCal LC is formulated for use as a dental pulp capping material and protective liner in deep cavities and selected direct pulp-capping procedures. Its calcium-releasing formulation supports the formation of a protective barrier while its light-cured delivery allows the clinician to control placement and curing directly at the treatment site.
The syringe-based application eliminates manual mixing and helps facilitate precise placement in narrow or deep cavity preparations.
Key Benefits
Direct and indirect pulp protectionÂ
Designed for use in direct pulp capping and indirect pulp capping procedures.
Calcium-releasing formulationÂ
Releases calcium ions to support the formation of a protective mineralized barrier.
Light-cured applicationÂ
Cures with a suitable dental curing light after placement.
Ready-to-use syringe deliveryÂ
No manual powder-liquid mixing is required.
Controlled placementÂ
Syringe application helps deliver the material accurately to the intended treatment area.
Protective liner functionÂ
Forms a barrier that helps insulate the pulp from thermal, chemical, and restorative-material irritation.
Low-solubility protective layerÂ
Designed to provide a stable liner beneath restorative materials.
Suitable for deep cavity management
Useful when remaining dentin thickness is limited and pulp protection is required.
Dental Pulp Protection and Liner Applications
Direct Pulp Capping
TheraCal LC can be used as a pulp-protective material in appropriately selected direct pulp-capping procedures following management of the exposed pulp according to the clinician’s treatment protocol.
Indirect Pulp Capping
For deep cavities without direct pulp exposure, the material can be applied as a protective liner over the prepared dentin before completing the definitive restoration.
Protective Cavity Liner
TheraCal LC can also serve as a calcium silicate dental liner beneath restorative materials where pulp insulation and protection are required.
