The first product in the new material line is TheraCal LC, a light-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate filled base/liner designed for use in direct and indirect pulp capping and as a protective base/liner under composite, amalgam, cements, and other base materials.
It can also be an alternative to calcium hydroxide, glass ionomer, resin-modified glass ionomer, IRM zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE), and other restorative materials, according to the company. It is available in a 1:1 g syringe and 4:1 g syringe packages.
