The present invention relates to a resin modified dental luting cement composition comprising:(a) a polymerizable resin component;(b) a polyacidic polymer component;(c) a filler component comprising(c1) a particulate zinc oxide containing filler adapted to be reactive with the polyacidic polymer component in a cement reaction, and(c2) an inert particulate filler which cannot react with the polyacidic polymer in a cement reaction;(d) a redox initiator system for initiating polymerization of the polymerizable resin component, which comprises an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent; and(e) water.
