Advantage of zinc phosphate over GIC is______________?

Correct answer: C. High modulus of elasticity

  • A. High compressive strength
  • B. Tensile strength
  • C. High modulus of elasticity
  • D. Diametral strength

Zinc phosphate cement has a higher modulus of elasticity than glass ionomer cement, making it stiffer. GIC generally offers better chemical adhesion and fluoride release, not greater stiffness.
