ApaCal ART is a photo-cure, resin-modified calcium hydroxide and tricalcium phosphate pulp protectant/liner fortified with hydroxyapatite. Designed to protect the dentin–pulp complex, it functions as a barrier for direct and indirect pulp capping and as a protective base/liner under various restorative materials. Its Active Release Technology promotes bioactivity and effective pulp protection.
