TEMPZOE is strong zinc oxide eugenol based cement. TEMPZOE is a powered liquid system which is easily mixable to a smooth slightly adhesive paste which when placed in the mouth sets to hard durable filling or cement.
- polymer reinforced
- Strong cement and temporary dressings
- powder liquid system easy to mix
- can be used as base for amalgam packaging
- low soluble in oral fluid
- easy to mix
- easy to use
Formulated from high quality raw material Tempzoe has many good attributes for a reinforced Zinc oxide/Eugenol cement.
The actual cement matrix of Tempzoe is reinforced by acrylixpolymers, thus it is a strong cement, and therefore can be confidently used as base for amalgam packing.
Surface treatment of the micro-fine zinc oxide particles allowsthe powder to be conglomeration free and to be extremely compatible with Tempzoe liquid. Consequently the pale yellow cement easily acquires a homogenous mix with a reliable working time. Following manipulation it will set hard to exhibit the high compressive strength useful in temporary dressing, crown cementation, cavity lining and pulp capping. Additionally Tempzoe’s low solubility in oral fluid means it is durable cement for temporary linings.
COMPLIES WITH ISO 3106.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Tempzoecement is a fine powder, which tends to settle during storage or transit. Therefore, prior to use inverting the container a few times should loosen the powder.
MIXING RATIO: For laboratory evaluation the cement’s optimal qualities are obtained by mixing 0.3g of Tempzoepowder into 0.8ml of /Tempzoe
Liquid (approximately 3-4 drops from dispenser). However in general use, the best ratio mix is obtainable by trial and error.
MIXING: Mixing should be done on a glass slab at 23°C or on apaper-mixing pad. The powder is divided into four consecutively small portions, and then starting with the smallest portions, they are mixes into the liquid so that mixing should have a smooth non-tacky character.
APPLICATION: Following mixing, there are 2 clear minutes of working time(i.e. whilst the cement’s appearance is glossy) and then another minute later it will have set hard.
Tempzoe should not be used under resinous filling.
