Ammdent LC Cal Excel Light Curing Radiopaque Calcium Hydroxide

Ammdent Lc Cal Excel is a light-curing radiopaque one-component calcium hydroxide material for cavity lining (base )for direct/Indirect pulp capping especially under Composites.

To prevent marginal leakage and infiltration of bacteria in the cervical/approximal margins, permanent isolation is recommended.

LC CALEXCEL can be directly applied to the tube. In the case of linings of more than 1mm apply and polymerize layer.

INDICATION :- 

• As a liner for indirect pulp capping.
• As liner under all filling materials.
• As protection against acid when applying the total-etch technique.

ADVANTAGES :- 

• Time-saving, direct application, and light-curing.
• Ready to use one component material.
• Acid Resistant.
• Effective protection of the pulp.
• It helps in the formation of secondary dentine.
• Excellent adhesion to composites.
• Low solubility in oral fluids.
• Syringe type for easy delivery of the paste into the canal.
• 2 Extra Tips for prevention of cross contamination.
• Excellent antibacterial effect and radio-opacity.
• Premixed Paste.

Features :-

• High Resistance.
• Excellent adhesion.
• High Compressive Strength.
• Very Stable.
• Excellent Biocompatibility.

CAUTION : 

• Store in a cool place and the cap always closed to prevent drying and phase separation of the material.

• 1 x 2gm Syringe
• 2 x Tips

APPLICATION : –

• The dental surfaces have to be dried thoroughly and contamination has to be avoided.
• The preparation corresponds to the rules of the usual filling technique.
• In direct proximity of the pulp, the application of an aqueous calcium hydroxide preparation is recommended. (CAL-EXCEL).

STEP 1:

• Cure LC CAL EXCEL with halogen light.

STEP 2:

• keep the light source as close as possible to the surface(approx1-2mm)and cure for at least 40-60 s.

STEP 3:

• In case of more distance extend curing time.

STEP 4:

• Carefully remove excess materials with a rotating instrument and apply the filling according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

STEP 5:

• LC CALEXCEL adheres to materials,e.g.crown and bridge materials, temporary sealants on methacrylate basis, certain impression materials (e.g.polyether).

STEP 6:

•  This could lead to the removal of the lining (core build-up).

STEP 7:

• In such cases, it isrecommended to apply an isolating agent(e.g.vasline, glycerine gel or similar).

STEP 8:

•  Remove isolating agent prior to definite application.

STEP 9 :

• The consistency of LC CALEXCEL does not allow to remove excess material with a probe, this could eventually remove the whole linning (use a rotating instrument).

 STEP 10:

•  After the use of LCEXCEL avoid direct light (operation lamp, sunlight)and apply the material immediately.

STEP 11:

• LC CALEXCEL contains calcium hydroxide, TEGDMA, BHT, UDMA, and amine. Do not apply the material in the case of patients with known allergies against the ingredients.

 STEP 12:

• Eugenol and other contaminations (e.g.thymol)prevent the polymerization, therefore avoid contact with these materials.

STEP 13:

• Too short curing times and sufficient light intensity lead to incomplete curing, therefore check the halogen lamp/light guide regularly.

STEP 14:

• Eugenol and other contaminations (e.g.thymol)prevent the polymerization, therefore avoid contact with these materials.

 STEP 15:

• Too short curing times and sufficient light intensity lead to incomplete curing, therefore check the halogen lamp/light guide regularly.
