Voco Calcimol LC

• Voco Calcimol LC is a light cured, resin modified pulp capping material and cavity liner containing calcium hydroxide. It is a radiopaque, one component material. The calcium ion released by this material promotes the formation of tertiary dentin and hydroxyapatite.
• Calcimol LC has a high pH of 10-12 which supports healing of the tissue and also has an antimicrobial effect. This material can be used as a liner under all restorations. It also finds its application as an indirect pulp capping material and as a protective layer while employing the total-etch technique. It has been made radiopaque for easy radiographic identification.
• Voco Calcimol LC has high compressive strength and can act as a solid foundation. The presentation of this material in the NDT (Non-Dripping Technology) Syringe, enhances the ease of use and ensures a higher command over the flowability of the material.

Non-Dripping Technology

• Flowable composites being compressible in the liquid phase, are compressed when the plunger of the syringe is pressed. This happens even before the material is pressed out of the cannula due to the increase in pressure.
• Subsequently, the release of pressure from the plunger causes the material to expand, resulting in running of a small amount material. This is crucial as the excess material can interfere with the procedure.
• The NDT syringe from Voco prevents running of the material from the syringe. This happens by the use of a silicone seal that pulls the plunger back by a short distance once the pressure is removed. Moreover, this specially designed syringe prevents backflow of the contaminated material back into the syringe.
• The plunger must not be manually withdrawn as it might result in entrapment of air bubbles inside the syringe, which may hinder the mechanism of the NDT syringe.
• Warning Calcimol LC containing methacrylates, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and amines is contraindicated in patients having allergies to any of the mentioned components.
