SOUTH HACKENSACK, N.J., Nov. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bio-LCB™ - Light Cured Base and Liner Bio-LCB was developed as a shock-absorbing protective base/liner under composites, amalgams, and other cement materials. Unlike other bases/liners, Bio-LCB provides superior strength, bonds to dentin, and promotes dentin remineralization. The proprietary UDMA-based formulation forms calcium hydroxide upon curing which results in an increase in pH. This action protects the pulp, stimulating pulpal cells to form dentin and decreases the risk of secondary decay. This unique composition also contains remineralizing agents which are released upon setting to form hydroxyapatite and further aid in the remineralization of the surrounding dentition.

Key Points: 
  • Bio-LCB was developed as a shock-absorbing protective base/liner under composites, amalgams, and other cement materials.
  • Unlike other bases/liners, Bio-LCB provides superior strength, bonds to dentin, and promotes dentin remineralization.
  • Pricing and Availability Bio-LCB Light Cured Base and Liner is available now as a Starter Pack with two syringes (2g ea.)
  • and 8 tips for a suggested retail price of $37.50 or as an Economy Pack with four syringes (2g ea.)
