Abstract

TheraCal LC, the focus of this article, is a material that creates a new category of resin-modified calcium silicates (RMCS). It is a light-cured, resin-based, and highly radiopaque liner designed to release calcium to promote hard-tissue formation, and is indicated for use under direct restorative materials as a replacement to calcium hydroxide and other calcium silicate-based materials, glass ionomers, eugenol-based sedative materials, and pulp capping restoratives. TheraCal LC exhibits several properties to help maintain ideal hard-tissue health and to reduce the incidence of postoperative sensitivity. This article is aimed to review the composition, method of application, setting reaction, properties and uses of TheraCal LC.
Conclusion: TheraCal LC is interesting and promising product, which have the potential of creating major contributions to maintaining pulp vitality.
