Conventional cementation technique for Targis restorations.
Ivoclar can now recommend a clinical and laboratory procedure for the conventional cementation of Targis single- and multiple-unit full-coverage restorations. The ability to bond restorations utilizing enamel/dentin bonding systems and dual-cure resin cements (Variolink II, Ivoclar Vivadent, Amherst, NY) has minimized microleakage and postoperative sensitivity, provided stronger restorations, and reinforced remaining tooth structure. Unfortunately, the benefits of the adhesive technique can often be compromised by existing or pre-existing clinical conditions. This challenge has limited the broad use of adhesive, metal-free restorations in many clinical situations. Targis restorations can now be successfully cemented utilizing zinc phosphate or conventional glass ionomer cements. This article describes the technique through a case presentation.
