Description
 ZONE Temporary Cement is a zinc oxide, non-eugenol temporary cement available in a dual-barrel automix syringe. ZONE Temporary Cement does not contain triclosan. It is available in a universal shade and an esthetic shade (A1) for anteriors. ZONE Temporary Cement exhibits a two-stage set – initial elastic set to allow bulk clean-up and a hard, final set. It is compatible with all provisional materials and will not soften, craze or discolor acrylic or polycarbonate crowns. According to the manufacturer, ZONE Temporary Cement is kind to the pulp and tissue and will not decalcify dentin. ZONE Temporary Cement has a 30-second mixing time and a 2-minute working time. Each 4 g, dual-barrel, automix syringes comes with eight mixing tips. ZONE Temporary Cement was evaluated by 25 consultants in 676 uses. It received a 91% rating.

Product Features
ZONE Temporary Cement is neat and easy to use – cement can be applied directly into the restoration from the mixing tip. Clean-up of excess cement is easy in either the elastic or hard set phase. Many consultants commented positively on the appearance of the A1 shade under provisional restorations in the esthetic zone. Some consultants thought the setting time was slow, and many reported that the mixing tips wasted too much material. Fifty-six percent of consultants reported that ZONE Temporary Cement was better than their current temporary cement and 36% reported that it was equivalent. Eighty-four percent would switch to ZONE Temporary Cement and 92% would recommend it.

Clinical Tips
Maintain a dry field during cementation.
Use a slight amount of petroleum gel around the restoration so the temporary cement will be easier to remove.
