Calcium disalicylate [chelate product]

Reaction is accelerated by moisture
 Bactericidal
Alkaline pH [12]
Good thermal insulator
Low compressive strength [10-27 Mpa]
Setting time [2.5- 5.5 min]
Simulate secondary dentin formation in areas
of thin dentin [<0.5 mm]
Simulate dentin formation in exposed pulp
lesion [direct pulp capping]
High solubility
 Pulp capping agent
As liner in deep cavity preparation

ADVANTAGES
Formation of secondary dentin
Neutralize strong acids
Tooth sealing characteristics
Easy manipulation
 Not provide thermal insulation at low
thickness
Has low strength when fully set
Will dissolve under acidic condition
Weakened by exposure to moisture
