TheraBase™-Bisco-USA

From Alex Dent's catalogue

Dual-Cured, Calcium and Fluoride-Releasing, Self-Adhesive Base/Liner TheraBase is a dual-cure, calcium and fluoride-releasing, self-adhesive base/liner. Utilizing the THERA technology, TheraBase chemically bonds to tooth structure, and releases and recharges calcium and fluoride ions. 1 TheraBase’s calcium release generates an alkaline PH* which promotes pulp vitality. 2 It is a dual-cured material that will polymerize even in deep restorations where light cannot reach. TheraBase is stronger and more durable than other base materials, glass ionomers and resin-modified glass ionomers. * Additionally, it is radiopaque allowing for easy identification on radiographs, providing a quick and effective diagnosis . Unique Benefits: Continuous release of calcium and fluoride ions 1 Self-adhesive, no bonding agents required High compressive strength, absorbs shock and stress from occlusal forces without fracturing Radiopaque, allows for identification on radiographs and effective diagnosis Auto-mix, dual syringe provides a consistent mix for immediate delivery with zero to minimal waste of material Dual-cured material that will cure even in deep restorations where light cannot reach Clinical Benefits: Generates an alkaline pH (pH=11 * ) in minutes, which promotes pulp vitality 2 Contains the adhesion promoting monomer MDP, ensuring reliable and optimal bond to dentin 3 *Data on file. 1 Gleave CM, Chen L, Suh BI.
