Prime-Dent Zinc Phosphate Cement Kit, Permanent, High Strength, Light Yellow is used for permanent cementation of cast metal crowns, metal-ceramic crowns, inlays, onlays, fixed partial dentures, and orthodontic bands in general restorative and prosthodontic dental practice where the oldest and most clinically well-documented luting cement system still in active use provides a 131 MPa compressive strength permanent bond at the restoration-tooth interface that represents the historical benchmark for permanent cement mechanical performance against which all subsequent luting cement systems have been compared and developed. As a powder and liquid zinc phosphate cement system, Prime-Dent delivers the mixing flexibility that allows the clinician to control working consistency and film thickness by adjusting the powder-to-liquid ratio and spatulation pattern on a cooled glass slab, supporting a longer working time for complex restorations requiring multiple unit seating or extended seating time for the restoration to fully seat before set.
Restorative dentists and prosthodontists who use zinc phosphate cement as their primary or secondary permanent luting cement and require a reliable, high-strength, practically priced powder and liquid kit find Prime-Dent Zinc Phosphate the complete per-kit cement supply for their active cementation program.

Each kit contains a 32g powder bottle, a 17.5mL liquid bottle, a measuring scoop, and a mixing pad, providing a complete zinc phosphate cement mixing and dispensing setup in a single kit that requires only a glass mixing slab for the spatulation step. Light yellow color of the set cement provides a neutral, tooth-compatible appearance at restoration margins that is clinically acceptable for metal and metal-ceramic restorations where cement color at the margin is visible but not the primary esthetic concern, distinguishing this light yellow format from yellow and white color alternatives in the zinc phosphate product range. Self-cure chemistry means the cement sets through an acid-base reaction between the zinc oxide powder and phosphoric acid liquid without requiring light activation, proceeding to full set and maximum compressive strength after the working time window without any additional cure step.
?
Prime-Dent Zinc Phosphate Cement works through the chemical reaction between the zinc oxide-based powder and the phosphoric acid liquid, where incremental powder addition to the liquid during spatulation on a cooled glass slab progressively raises the pH of the mix and builds the zinc phosphate matrix that sets to a hard, insoluble, high-compressive-strength cement mass.
Cooling the glass slab before mixing retards the exothermic setting reaction and extends the working time available for complete seating of the restoration before the cement reaches a consistency that resists further seating pressure, a critical technique variable for complex multi-unit prosthetic cementation appointments where working time is the limiting factor for successful complete seating. Thermal insulating properties of the set zinc phosphate cement matrix provide a protective barrier between the metallic restoration and the vital dentin that reduces the transmission of temperature changes from the restoration surface to the pulp during consumption of hot and cold foods and beverages, supporting pulpal comfort in the period after cementation.

Restorative dentists cementing cast gold and metal-ceramic crowns, inlays, and onlays find zinc phosphate's 131 MPa compressive strength provides the long-term retention reliability at the tooth-cement-restoration interface that clinical experience across decades of use has consistently confirmed across a wide range of preparation geometries and retention designs. Prosthodontists cementing fixed partial dentures across multiple abutments find the controlled working time achievable through glass slab mixing technique allows complete, simultaneous seating of all abutment units before the cement reaches resistance.
