Description

Prevacal LC – Light-Cured Calcium Hydroxide

Protect vital pulp tissue with Prevacal LC, a professional light-curing, resin-modified calcium hydroxide paste. Designed as a radiopaque, flowable cavity liner for indirect pulp capping and deep cavity protection.
Prevacal LC provides effective pulp protection while enabling accurate placement in challenging areas. The light-cure technology ensures rapid setting and excellent stability, allowing immediate restoration placement over the liner.

Clinical Applications

• Indirect Pulp Capping- Protection in cases of near pulp exposure or deep carious lesions
• Cavity Liner- Protective base under all types of restorative materials (composite, amalgam, GIC)
• Deep Cavity Protection- Insulating liner in deep cavity preparations close to pulp
• Pulp Tissue Barrier- Effective protective barrier for vital pulp tissues
• Secondary Dentin Formation- Supports reparative/secondary dentin formation when used temporarily

Why Choose Prevacal LC?

• Better Stability
  Resin-modified formula provides superior stability compared to conventional calcium hydroxide products.
• Immediate Restoration
  Once cured, you can proceed immediately with bonding and final restoration. No waiting period.
• Radiopaque Visibility
  Zirconium oxide makes the liner clearly visible on radiographs for accurate diagnosis and monitoring.
• Precise Placement
  Flowable consistency allows accurate application exactly where needed, even in deep narrow preparations.
• Supports Healing
  Calcium hydroxide base promotes secondary dentin formation while protecting vital pulp tissue.
• Professional Results
  Predictable outcomes. Reliable pulp protection. Trusted by clinicians.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Prevacal LC used for?

A: It’s used as a protective cavity liner under restorations and for indirect pulp capping in deep cavities or near-pulp exposures.

Q: How long does it take to cure?

A: Just 20 seconds with a standard dental curing light (400-500nm wavelength).

Q: Can I restore immediately after curing?

A: Yes. Once light-cured, you can proceed immediately with etching, bonding, and final restoration.

Q: How thick should I apply it?

A: Apply a uniform thickness of 1-2mm for optimal protection and radiopacity.

Q: Is it radiopaque?

A: Yes. Zirconium oxide makes it clearly visible on X-rays for easy monitoring.

Q: Can I use this for direct pulp capping?

A: It’s designed for indirect pulp capping. For large exposed pulp areas, other materials may be more appropriate.

Q: Do I need isolation?

A: Yes. Rubber dam isolation is recommended whenever possible for moisture control.

Q: Can I apply this on enamel?

A: No. Only apply on dentin surfaces. Do not place on enamel margins of cavity preparations.

Q: How is this different from traditional calcium hydroxide?

A: It’s resin-modified and light-cured, providing better stability and allowing immediate restoration compared to traditional materials.

Q: What if I have a pinpoint pulp exposure?

A: Control bleeding first with hemostatic agent (Preva Block), clean and dry area, then carefully apply Prevacal LC.

Q: Can I use this under all restoration types?

A: Yes. Suitable as a liner under composite, amalgam, glass ionomer, and other restorative materials.

Q: How long does the 2g syringe last?

A: Depending on usage, it provides multiple applications. Store properly for 3-year shelf life.

Q: What happens if I don’t cure it properly?

A: Inadequate curing may affect material performance, stability, and bonding. Always ensure full 20-second cure time.

Q: Can I use a temporary dressing over it?

A: Yes. In cases of near pulp exposure, you may place temporary dressing for up to 21 days to support secondary dentin formation.
