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.
