Overview
Cal LC is a light-cured, radiopaque calcium hydroxide paste supplied as a ready-to-use, one-component material in a syringe. It is intended for cavity lining and pulp protection, including direct and indirect pulp capping. The material is dispensed through an applicator tip and polymerized with a light-curing unit. Radiopacity facilitates radiographic assessment.
Indications
- Direct pulp capping.
- Indirect pulp capping.
- Cavity lining.
- Use as a protective layer beneath compatible restorative materials.
- Assists in pulp protection within appropriate restorative procedures.
- Provides protection from acids when etching techniques are used, as directed in the instructions for use.
Key features
- Light-cure material, allowing working-time control before curing.
- Curing time: manufacturer information indicates 20–40 seconds; some product data state 30–40 seconds. Refer to the current instructions for use.
- Radiopaque for clear visualization on radiographs.
- One-component, ready to use; no mixing required.
- Direct application with an applicator tip for precise placement.
- Acid resistant (per manufacturer information).
- Low solubility in oral fluids (per manufacturer information).
- High compressive strength and good adhesion with composites (per manufacturer information).
