Oxident Dycal Basic & Catalytic Paste 12g

Oxident Dycal is likely a misspelling or a less common variant name for Dycal, a well-established brand of calcium hydroxide cavity liner manufactured by Dentsply Sirona. Dycal is a self-curing material used in dental practices for direct and indirect pulp capping and as a protective liner under various dental restorations. 1 Its formulation is designed to stimulate the formation of secondary dentin, protect the pulp, and offer good handling characteristics with a relatively quick setting time. 2 It is available in different shades to match tooth structure and is radiopaque for easy identification in radiographs. 3 As a calcium hydroxide material, it has also been noted for its antibacterial properties due to the release of hydroxyl ions, creating an alkaline environment unfavorable for bacteria.
