TheraBase™-Bisco-USA

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 ions¹
• 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 vitality²
• Contains the adhesion promoting monomer MDP, ensuring reliable and optimal bond to dentin³
