TheraCal LC®

Precision Pulp Protection

Easy-to-use TheraCal LC is a light-cured, resin-modified, silicate filled liner designed for use in direct and indirect pulp capping, and as a protective liner under composites, amalgams, cements, and other materials — a uniquely stable and durable solution.

• Calcium release* leads to protective seal.^1,2,3
