Results for tag: "Zinc Polycarboxylate Cement"

Within the context of Cement and Concrete, Zinc Polycarboxylate Cement represents a specialized market segment focused primarily on dental applications rather than construction. This type of cement, also referred to as polyacrylate cement, is comprised of a zinc oxide powder and a liquid polycarboxylic acid. When mixed, they form a chelate with zinc, providing a strong bond between restorative materials and the tooth structure. It was the first cement to exhibit an adhesive bond to tooth structure and has been used extensively due to its biocompatibility and less irritating properties compared to other dental cements. Its primary use is in dental restorations, as a luting agent for crowns, bridges, and orthodontic fixtures, as well as a temporary filling material or a base under restorative materials like amalgam and composites in dental repairs. Prominent players in the Zinc Polycarboxylate Cement market encompass a range of companies that specialize in dental materials and products. Some of these firms include Dentsply Sirona, 3M, Shofu Dental Corporation, DenMat Holdings, and Ivoclar Vivadent. These companies are dedicated to providing dental solutions that cater to both practitioners and patients, ensuring that advancements in dental technology are continuously integrated into their products for improved dental care.
