TheraCal PT®

Select HV® Etch w/BAC

35% Phosphoric Acid Etchant with Benzalkonium Chloride
Select HV Etch is a superior 35% high viscosity phosphoric etch available with Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC). Select HV Etch is used to condition the tooth structure before bonding adhesives, composites, or sealants. Select HV Etch is specially formulated for maximum working and handling, pin-point placement performance, and eliminating run-on onto the dentin surface.

NOTE: Inclusion of BAC has not been shown to correlate with a reduction in secondary decay in patients. In-vivo clinical studies to evaluate the effects of BAC on oral bacteria or caries have not been performed.

Unique Benefits:

• Rinses away cleanly and quickly leaving no residue to interfere with bonding
• Blue in color for easy visualization and contrast
• Microretentive surface characteristics that are necessary for successful bonding

Clinical Significance:

• Contains benzalkonium chloride (BAC), an antimicrobial agent. In-vitro research shows it is effective against Streptococcus mutans^1,2.

All-Bond Universal®

Light-Cured Dental Adhesive
All-Bond Universal is the culmination of over 30 years of adhesive research at BISCO. As a universal adhesive it can be used with direct and indirect restorations and is formulated to be compatible with light-, dual- and self-cured materials. The versatility of All-Bond Universal makes it an indispensable part of any dental practice.

Unique Benefits:

• Not moisture sensitive use on wet, dry or moist tooth structure
• Bonds to ALL substrates
• Use with ALL direct and indirect restorations (<10 micron thickness)
• Ideal chemical balance for both total- and self-etch adhesion from one bottle
• Compatible with ALL resin cements (no additional activator required)
• Virtually no post-operative sensitivity

Clinical Significance:

• All-Bond Universal offers the flexibility for total-, self- and selective-etch procedures
• All-Bond Universal is compatible with all light-, self- and dual-cured resin composite and cement materials for all direct and indirect procedures
• Other single bottle adhesives may need more than 1 bottle for indirect restorations, but with All-Bond Universal, NO activator is required.

TheraCal LC®

Resin-Modified Calcium Silicate Pulp Protectant/Liner
TheraCal LC is a light-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate filled liner designed for use in direct and indirect pulp capping and as a protective liner under composites, amalgams, cements, and other base materials. It can be used as an alternative to calcium hydroxide, glass ionomer, RMGI, IRM/ZOE and other restorative materials. TheraCal LC performs as a barrier and protectant of the dental pulpal complex.

TheraCal LC’s precise placement allows its use in all deep cavity preparations. The light-cured set permits immediate placement and condensation of the restorative material. Its proprietary formulation allows for a command set with a light curing unit while maintaining ease of placement due to thixotropic properties. The proprietary hydrophilic resin formulation creates a stable and durable liner.

Unique Benefits:

• Calcium release stimulates^1* hydroxyapatite and secondary dentin bridge formation^2,3
• Alkaline pH promotes healing and apatite formation^2,4
• Significant calcium release¹ leads to protective seal^5,7,8
• Protects and insulates the pulp^5,6
• Moisture tolerant¹ and radiopaque – can be placed under restorative materials and cements

Clinical Significance:

• 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

TheraCem®

Self-Adhesive Resin Cement

TheraCem is a dual-cured, calcium and fluoride-releasing, self-adhesive resin cement indicated for luting crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays and posts (prefabricated metal/non-metal/fiber posts). 

Delivering a strong bond to Zirconia and most substrates, along with easy clean-up and high radiopacity, TheraCem offers the clinician a reliable and durable cementation of indirect restorations. 

Unique Benefits:

• Continuous calcium and fluoride release^*
• Transitions from acidic to alkaline pH in minutes^*
• Contains MDP, allowing for a strong bond to zirconia, metal, and alumina substrates without the use of a primer.
• Specially formulated to allow for quick and easy clean-up
• A high degree of conversion ensures a higher physical strength
• Easy to identify on radiographs for quick and effective diagnosis
• Easy auto-mix, dual-syringe provides a consistent mix for immediate delivery

Clinical Significance:

• Delivers a strong bond to zirconia and most substrates with no priming or etching required
