Setting reaction
 Exothermic reaction
 Adding of water can accerlate the reaction.
 Loss of water can lengthen the setting
reaction.

Frozen Slab technique
 Frozen Slab technique. In this method, a glass
slab is cooled in a refrigerator at 6ºC or a freezer
at −10ºC. The amount of powder incorporated is
50–75% more than the normal, offsetting the
possible deleterious effects of incorporating water
into the mix from the condensed moisture.
Compressive and tensile strengths are not
significantly different from normal mixes

Working time and setting time
 Working time commonly is 3-6 minute
 Setting time is 2.5-8 minute(ADA
specification No.96)

Depending on the manufacturer instruction

Naghman Zuberi 7
How to extend the setting time ?
 Reducing powder/ liquid ratio {not
recommended}
 Mixing on the cool glass slap {no moisture}
 Mixing over a large area.
 Mixing cements in increments.

Mixing procedure
There are three steps:
 First : add the small amount of powder into the
liquid
 To achieve the slow neutralization of the liquid.
 To control the reaction.

Naghman Zuberi 9
Mixing procedure
 Second : Larger amount of powder is
added to liquid
 For further saturation of liquid to newly form zinc
phosphate.
 This steps may not effect by heat released from
the reaction.

{because of the less amount of unreacted acid}

Naghman Zuberi 10
Mixing procedure
 Finally: the small amount of powder is
added again
 To control the optimum consistency

Biocompatibility
 Acid can penetrate into the dentinal tubule
 irritate pulp
 pH of cement
 Liquid = 2.0
 3 minutes after mixing = 4.2
 1 hour = 6
 48 hours = 7

Modified zinc phosphate cement
 Fluoride cement
 Add Stannous fluoride
 Higher solubility/ Lower strength
 Zinc silicophosphate
 Zinc phosphate + Silicate
 Higher strength/ lower solubility
 Fluoride released
 Translucency

Clinical applications
 Zinc phosphate cement
 Luting agent
 Base and temporary filling
 Modified zinc phosphate
 Luting prostheses
 Luting the orthodontics band
