Prevest Zitemp

Prevest Zitemp is a zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE)–based dental cement designed for temporary restorations and provisional cementation. It is a quick-setting material supplied in a powder-liquid system, allowing clinicians to achieve the desired consistency for different clinical needs. The cement provides effective sealing and protects the tooth structure until permanent restoration is placed.

Key Features

Zitemp offers rapid setting and excellent flowability, ensuring easy placement in cavities and under restorations. It acts as an effective thermal and chemical insulator, protecting the pulp from external stimuli. The material has good compressive strength and forms a reliable temporary seal. Its easy-mix formulation simplifies handling and improves chairside efficiency.

Applications

It is widely used as a temporary filling material after caries removal, as a cavity liner, and for temporary cementation of crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays. It is also useful during endodontic procedures for short-term sealing of access cavities.

Advantages

Zitemp provides good sealing ability, pulp protection, and ease of removal when required. It reduces sensitivity, improves patient comfort, and ensures a stable temporary restoration. Its versatility and cost-effectiveness make it a commonly used material in routine dental practice.
