Cements and Liners — Cavity Liners

Cavity liners play a vital role in protecting the dental pulp during restorative treatments. Applied as a thin layer beneath restorative materials, they serve as a thermal and chemical barrier while promoting dentin regeneration and pulp vitality.

These liners are often calcium hydroxide or resin-based, providing biocompatibility and antibacterial protection. Dentists commonly use cavity liners in deep cavity preparations, especially under amalgam or composite fillings, to prevent irritation and sensitivity.

Cavity liners help seal dentinal tubules, minimize microleakage, and enhance the longevity of restorations. Their smooth consistency and easy application make them suitable for both anterior and posterior restorations.

Whether you’re working with glass ionomer bases or resin-modified liners, these materials ensure a strong interface between tooth and restoration. Stocking high-quality cavity liners ensures every dental practice can provide reliable, comfortable, and long-lasting restorative care for patients.
