Sponsored Editorial 

• 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

Product Specifications

• A protective liner for use under restorative materials, cements, or other base materials.
• Pulp capping agent: TheraCal LC may be placed directly on the pulpal exposures after hemostasis is obtained. It is indicated for any pulpal exposures, including caries exposures, mechanical exposures or exposures due to trauma.
• Radiopaque properties allow for easy detection on x-rays
