Tempolat-F (Latus) – Zinc-Sulfate Temporary Cement for Fixation

Tempolat-F is a professional-grade, two-component temporary cement developed by Latus for the reliable fixation of orthopedic structures. Unlike standard temporary filling materials, the "F" (Fixation) series is specifically formulated to provide the optimal film thickness and adhesive strength required to hold temporary crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays securely in place for the duration of the prosthetic treatment.

Key Applications

• Prosthetic Fixation: Secure temporary cementation of crowns and bridges to protect the prepared tooth and maintain space.

• Trial Cementation: Temporary seating of permanent restorations to verify occlusion, aesthetics, and patient comfort before final bonding.

• Long-term Temporaries: Ideal for cases where a reliable marginal seal is needed for several weeks.

Advanced Features & Technologies

• Zinc-Sulfate Base Technology: The material is based on a proven zinc-sulfate formula that cures upon contact with oral moisture. This chemical reaction ensures an airtight seal, effectively protecting the dentin from bacterial infiltration and oral fluids.

• Non-Eugenol Formulation: Tempolat-F is 100% eugenol-free. This is crucial for modern dentistry as it ensures no interference with the subsequent polymerization of permanent resin cements or composite bonding agents.

• Superior Marginal Seal: Its thixotropic properties allow the cement to flow precisely under pressure during the seating of the restoration, creating a micro-leakage-proof barrier that minimizes post-operative sensitivity.

• Controlled Setting Process: The "paste-paste" system provides a consistent mix and a predictable setting time in the moist environment of the oral cavity, giving the clinician sufficient time for precise placement.

• Structural Integrity: Designed to withstand functional chewing loads without premature crumbling, yet it remains easy to remove. The cement stays slightly elastic, allowing the temporary structure to be removed without trauma to the abutment tooth.

• Easy Clean-up: Any excess material can be easily removed in the "rubbery" stage, and residual cement on the tooth surface is quickly cleaned off using standard dental
