Pulp-capping material
Life™ is a calcium hydroxide cavity liner available in both regular and fast set.
Properties
Maintains pulp vitality in cases of exposures and near exposures
Promotes formation of reparative dentin
Insulates pulp against thermal shock
Protects pulp from permanently placed fillings
Has a high early strength (withstands packing pressures)
Resistant to acid etching
Does not inhibit polymerization of acrylic or composite restoration
Radiopaque
Mixing and Applications
Extrude equal amounts of base and catalyst
Dispense LIFE just prior to using
Do not interchange caps
Wipe nozzle of each tube before replacing cap
Mix with small spatula for 10 seconds - until streak free
Place immediately into cavity with Kerr ballpoint applicator
Wipe applicator tip before replacing into mix when successive applications are made
Handling Features
Adequate work time on the pad
Quick set in the mouth
Flow characteristics for controlled placement
Carveable
Cautions
High temperature and humidity accelerate set time.
Store at ambient conditions.
Keep nozzle clean and replace the cap tightly after use.
When operating under “dry field” conditions (such as rubber dam) and using the acid-etch technique, there may be insufficient
moisture on the cavity floor to effect the set of LIFE as promptly as desired. In such cases, place a small drop of water on the cavity
liner. This will cause the material to set quickly.
Some bonding agents (chemically cured enamel bonding agents, chemically cured dentin/enamel bonding agents and some light
activated dentin/enamel bonding agents) possess a high level of benzoyl peroxide and have the potential to cause discoloration of
LIFE and LIFE FAST SET.
It is recommended that you test materials’ compatibility by placing the bonding agent and/or dentin bonding agent on the surface of a
set LIFE sample (on the mixing pad) to determine systems compatibility.
Work times
Work times on pad: Life Minimum of 3 minutes at 75°F (24°C) and 50% humidity
Life Fast Set Minimum of 2 minutes at 75°F (24°C) and 50% humidity
