Shake Powder jar before use : Dispense 2 spoons full of powder and 5- 6 drops of liquid on a cool glass slab. While mixing heat is generated due to exothermic reaction, it is therefore advised to do mixing in fractions. Add powder into liquid in small fractions to get the desired consistency. Recommended fractions of powder into liquid is (1/8 or 1/4). Continue mixing for 45-60 seconds to form a smooth paste. Thoroughly rinse the tooth surface with water and gently air dry. Thinly apply Zinc F+ over the tooth structure and the interfacing metal surfaces before they are joined. For maximum bond strength Zinc F+ must be allowed to set 3:00-3:10 (min: sec) while metal and prepared tooth surfaces are compressed together. For this it is advised that the patient bites hard onto a cotton ball without periodic relaxation. Biting hard will remove excess cement and reduce its film thickness and improve the bond.
Warning :
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin (allergic contact dermatitis), and eyes. Avoid prolonged inhalation. Do not take internally Contact with the skin may cause irritation, burns of hypersensitivity. If contact with skin occurs immediately wipe off thoroughly with cotton and alcohol and then wash well with soap and water. If skin rash and sensitization or other allergic reaction occurs discontinue use and seek medical attention. If the product comes into contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and consult a physician. It should not be used with patients who have a history of severe allergic reaction to any of the components.
Contraindications : Direct or indirect pulp-capping.

The mixing process for Zinc F+ is straightforward, with a smooth consistency that allows for easy manipulation. The working time is adequate, enabling precise placement. However, achieving the perfect mix can require some attention, as slight variations in the powder-to-liquid ratio may affect the setting time and strength.

Zinc F+ is a standout zinc phosphate cement known for its impressive strength and durability. It provides robust support for crowns, bridges, and other restorations, making it a reliable choice for long-term applications. In my experience, it holds up exceptionally well under occlusal forces, ensuring longevity in restorations.

This cement demonstrates excellent adhesion to tooth structure and restorative materials. Its bonding capability minimizes the risk of microleakage and helps prevent sensitivity issues post-treatment. I’ve observed that restorations using Zinc F+ maintain their integrity over time, contributing to high patient satisfaction.
