Cal LC, a light-cured radiopaque calcium hydroxide paste, serves a versatile role in various dental applications. Its indications include:
Direct and Indirect Pulp Capping: Cal LC is suitable for both direct and indirect pulp capping procedures, contributing to the preservation and protection of the dental pulp.
Acid Protection during Etch Technique: It is used to provide acid protection when employing etch techniques, ensuring the safeguarding of dental structures during restorative procedures.
Cavity Liner: Cal LC acts as a cavity liner under all types of filling materials, offering a protective barrier between the dental restoration and the tooth structure.
Liner/Base in Deep-Seated Cavities: In deep-seated cavities where thermal insulation to the pulp is crucial, Cal LC serves as a liner or base material. This helps to minimize heat transfer and provide additional protection to the pulp.
The light-cured nature of Cal LC enables controlled and precise application, allowing dental professionals to cure the material efficiently using light activation. This makes Cal LC a valuable tool in modern dentistry, contributing to the success of pulp capping procedures and ensuring the longevity of dental restorations.
