title: [Clinical application of Targis veneers].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to evaluate the Targis material in the form of veneers.
  
  
  METHODS
  Nineteen patients treated with 91 Targis veneers were involved in this study, and the clinical evaluation on veneers was conducted at the time of recall. The evaluation parameters included marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, surface texture and color match. The periodontal status of all teeth with veneers was evaluated by gingival bleeding index and plaque index before and after the treatment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mean observation period for the veneers was 14.6 months. Four veneers failed due to fracture, three because of debond, one because of discoloration. The cumulative rate of success was 91.2%. There was no significant difference in gingival bleeding index before and after treatment, but the plaque index significantly decreased after the treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The clinical results of Targis are satisfactory.
