Dycal Ivory: Eco Pack - 6 x Base & 6 x Catalyst

Dycal Calcium Hydroxide Cavity Lining Material.

Dycal Calcium Hydroxide Liner from Dentsply Sirona is a two-component, rigid-setting, self-curing material designed for use in direct and indirect pulp capping and as a protective liner under dental adhesives, varnishes, filling materials, cements, and other base materials.

Dycal will not inhibit the polymerization of acrylic and composite restorations.

Dycal provides potential for improved aesthetics, as well as clinically proven performance with quick set times and excellent handling characteristics.

Dycal Features

• Radiopaque Calcium Hydroxide composition.
• Protects the pulp and promotes the formation of secondary dentin to ensure confidence in performance.
• Saves time, and is strong at critical time of condensation.
• Less vulnerable to oral fluids for excellent long-term results.
• Easy to place with ability to flow where needed.
• Dycal Ivory shade.

Dycal Indications

Dycal Liner is indicated for:

• Application to exposed, vital pulp tissue (direct pulp capping).
• Application to dentin as a protective barrier between restorative materials and deep vital dentin (indirect pulp capping) or where dentin to restorative material contact is not desired.

Dycal Composition

• Dycal Liner Base paste: disalicylate ester of 1,3-butylene glycol; calcium phosphate; calcium
  tungstate; zinc oxide; iron oxide.
• Dycal Liner Catalyst paste: calcium hydroxide; ethyl toluenesulfonamide; zinc sterate; titanium dioxide; zinc oxide; iron oxide.

Dycal Step-by-Step Instructions

Using Dycal for Direct Pulp Capping

1. Under rubber dam isolation, complete cavity preparation outline using high-speed burs under constant water-cooling.
2. If caries is present, completely excavate using low-speed and/or hand instrumentation.
3. Rinse the cavity and exposure site(s) with 2.6%-5% NaOCl. Heavy bleeding may be controlled with a cotton pellet moistened with sterile saline.
4. Gently dry preparation with cotton pellet. Avoid desiccation.
5. Dispense equal volumes of base and catalyst pastes on the parchment paper pad provided. Replace container caps. Using a Dycal® Liner applicator, stir immediately to mix thoroughly until a uniform color is achieved. Do not over-spatulate. Complete mixing within 10 seconds. NOTE: Do not attempt to control the setting time by increasing or decreasing the amount of catalyst dispensed.
6. Using the ball-pointed Dycal® Liner applicator or similar instrument, place the mix directly on the exposed pulp and cavity dentin judged to be less than 1.0 mm remaining thickness in a thin layer. Avoid placing Dycal® Liner on enamel or the margins of the cavity. Avoid placing a large bulk of material. Material thickness should be approximately 0.8 mm-1 mm.
7. Allow the Dycal® Liner to completely set. The mixed material will set in approximately 2-3 minutes on the mixing pad under normal room conditions (21 °C/70 °F with 50% relative humidity). Set time is shorter in the mouth due to moisture and temperature.
8. Remove any set excess from retention areas, enamel, and/or margins with a sharp spoon excavator or a bur.
9. Place desired adhesive, base, and/or restoration following manufacturer’s instructions.
10. At the next appointment, assess the pulp vitality. Pulp vitality and status should be assessed radiographically every three to six months or as needed.

Using Dycal for indirect pulp capping or as a protective barrier

1. Under suitable isolation, complete cavity preparation and caries removal. Wash cavity thoroughly with water spray and air dry.
2. Dispense and mix Dycal® Liner components as outlined in the instructions for direct pulp capping above.
3. Apply mixed material to desired dentin surfaces as outlined above in sections. Quick application of the mixed material into the cavity takes advantage of the essential flowability of the mass for efficient placement before setting starts. Completely covering all cavity dentin as desired may require carrying additional material from pad to dentin surfaces. NOTE: If subsequent use of a dentin bonding agent is desired, place Dycal® Liner only on the deepest (less than 1 mm remaining) dentin, leaving the rest of the cavity surface free for bonding.
4. Following completion of set remove any set excess from retention areas, enamel, and/or margins with a sharp spoon excavator or a bur.
5. Complete restoration per restorative material manufacturer’s instructions for use.
