Carboxylate Cement (Zinc Polycarboxylate Cement)

Carboxylate Cement, also known as Zinc Polycarboxylate Cement, is a dental luting and base material used for cementing crowns, bridges, inlays, and orthodontic bands, as well as for lining cavities under restorations. It is one of the earliest adhesive cements developed, known for its chemical adhesion to tooth structure and biocompatibility.
