What is TheraCal used for?

TheraCal LC is a single paste calcium silicate-based material promoted by the manufacturer for use as a pulp capping agent and as a protective liner for use with restorative materials, cement, or other base materials.

What is the difference between Dycal and TheraCal?

1. Theracal released less Calcium ions as compared to MTA Plus gel and Biodentine but more than that by Dycal. 2. Porosity, Water sorption and Solubility were least seen with Theracal as compared to other materials like Dycal, MTA Angelus, Biodentin , MTA plus etc.

What is MTA in endodontics?

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), composed mainly of tricalcic silicate, tricalcic alluminate, bismuth oxide, is a particular endodontic cement. It is made of hydrophilic fine particles that harden in the presence of dampness or blood.

Which is better MTA or Biodentine?

Manufacturers claim that Biodentine has noticeably shorter setting time in contrast to other silicate cements such as Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and also has better mechanical and handling properties.

What’s the difference between MTA and TheraCal LC?

TheraCal LC is a resin-modified calcium tri-silicate that has enhanced physical properties when compared to MTA material. Essentially, the primary chemical used in both materials are similar (Portland cement) but TheraCal LC contains a patent pending hydrophilic resin, which allows for immediate light curing and facilitates calcium release.

What do you need to know about TheraCal PT?

TheraCal PT is a biocompatible, dual-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate designed for pulpotomy treatment. Login to see Price. Login to see Price. TheraCal PT is a biocompatible, dual-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate designed for pulpotomy treatment.

Why does TheraCal LC stay where it is?

Because of its excellent handling properties and unique ability to stimulate apatite , TheraCal LC® stays where it is placed to efficiently aid in the regenerative process. Its alkaline pH promotes healing and results in virtually no postoperative sensitivity.

Which is the proprietary formulation of TheraCal LC?

The proprietary formulation of TheraCal LC consists of tri-calcium silicate particles in a hydrophilic monomer that provides significant calcium release* making it a uniquely stable and durable material as a liner or base.
