The BISCO Dental Porcelain Zirconia Primer system is a professional-grade dental adhesion solution designed to improve bonding between restorative materials such as zirconia, alumina, metal, and porcelain ceramics and resin-based cements.Â
It includes three specialised primers Z-Prime Plus, Porcelain Primer, and BIS-SILANE (A & B system) each engineered to optimise surface treatment and ensure long-lasting, high-strength dental restorations.
This system is widely used in restorative dentistry and dental laboratories to enhance bonding reliability, reduce restoration failure rates, and improve clinical outcomes in crowns, bridges, veneers, and prosthetic reconstructions.
What is BISCO Z-Prime Plus Dental Porcelain Primer System?
The BISCO Z Prime Plus Zirconia Primer system is a collection of advanced dental bonding agents used for surface conditioning of restorative materials before cementation. Each variant serves a specific role:
- Z-Prime Plus (REF: B-6002P) → Zirconia, alumina, and metal primer
- Porcelain Primer (REF: B-2221P) → Pre-hydrolyzed silane for ceramic restorations
- BIS-SILANE (REF: B-3210P) → Two-component silane coupling system for porcelain bonding
Together, they form a complete adhesive preparation system for modern prosthodontic workflows.
Key Features of BISCO Dental Porcelain Primer System
1. Universal Fitment for Dental Restorations
This system is designed for multiple restorative substrates:
- Zirconia restorations
- Alumina-based ceramics
- Metal frameworks
- Silicate-based porcelain restorations
It ensures strong chemical adhesion across diverse dental materials.
2. Single & Multi-Component Options for Clinical Flexibility
- Z-Prime Plus: Single-component, ready-to-use primer
- Porcelain Primer: Single-component pre-hydrolyzed silane
- BIS-SILANE: Two-part system requiring mixing for higher reactivity
This flexibility allows dentists to choose based on clinical preference and restoration type.
3. No Mixing Required (Z-Prime Plus & Porcelain Primer)
- Direct application
- No hydrolysis or mixing steps
- Time-efficient clinical workflow
4. Enhanced Bond Strength for Long-Term Stability
The primers chemically improve bonding between:
- Resin cement and zirconia
- Resin cement and metal
- Resin cement and porcelain
This reduces restoration debonding and increases durability.
5. Advanced MDP & Silane Chemistry
- Z-Prime Plus contains functional phosphate monomers (MDP-based chemistry)
- BIS-SILANE provides dual-component silane activation
- Strong chemical coupling between inorganic surfaces and resin matrix

How BISCO Dental Primer System Works
Each primer works through a different bonding mechanism:
Z-Prime Plus (Zirconia & Metal Primer)
- Chemically interacts with metal oxides
- Improves adhesion between resin cement and zirconia
- Enhances bond durability under oral stress
Porcelain Primer (Pre-Hydrolyzed Silane)
- Pre-activated silane eliminates hydrolysis step
- Bonds effectively with glass ceramics and porcelain surfaces
- Improves resin infiltration and retention
BIS-SILANE (Two-Part System)
- Part A + Part B mixed before application
- Generates highly reactive silane coupling agents
- Ideal for demanding porcelain bonding cases

Frequently Asked Questions
What is BISCO Z-Prime Plus used for?
It is used to bond zirconia, alumina, and metal surfaces with resin cement in dental restorations.
Can this primer be used for porcelain restorations?
Yes, but for best results on porcelain, use Porcelain Primer or BIS-SILANE depending on the ceramic type.
What is the difference between Z-Prime Plus and BIS-SILANE?
Z-Prime Plus is a single-component MDP primer for zirconia/metal, while BIS-SILANE is a two-part silane system for porcelain bonding.
Do I need to mix Z-Prime Plus before use?
No, Z-Prime Plus is a ready-to-use single-component primer.
Which primer is best for zirconia crowns?
Z-Prime Plus is specifically designed for zirconia and provides strong bonding performance.
Is Porcelain Primer pre-mixed?
Yes, it is a pre-hydrolyzed silane, meaning no mixing or hydrolysis is required.
Can this system be used in dental laboratories?
Yes, it is widely used in both clinical dentistry and dental labs for prosthetic bonding.
