KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• A hydrophilic matrix facilitates the release of calcium ions. 
• Calcium ion release promotes apatite formation.
• These ions provide the ability to generate an alkaline environment, which is important to promote healing.

In restorative products, features such as durability, ease of handling, multiple uses, and predictability work for the dentist, while the added benefit of factors such as calcium-release work overtime for the patient.

Thera technology is a unique hydrophilic matrix that facilitates the release of calcium ions to be exchanged between the material and the dentin. These ions provide the ability to generate an alkaline environment, which is important to promote healing. This technology is now available in adhesive cements, pulp-cap and liner material, and a pulpotomy treatment

Clinical cases featured in this eBook demonstrate how these products meet the demands of a dental practice.
