During the period of ever increasing demand for metal free, natural looking yet strong restorative alternatives, we offer restorations fabricated with the Targis Vectris System. Manufactured from two unique non metal materials - Targis and Vectris - this system possesses the strength and the durability of a metal based restoration while offering the aesthetics and beauty of a natural dentition.

The Targis component, a ceramic optimised polymer material, is formed from densely packed ceramic filler particles (ranging from 0.03mm to 1.0 mm) and demonstrates a high filler load (80%). It provides a natural appearance to the restoration when placed over the Vectris substructure. This fibre-reinforced composite material (Vectris) is fabricated from layers of silanated 5mm and 14mm diameter glass fibres that are embedded in an organic polymer matrix. A co-ordinated cycle of light, heat, pressure, and vacuum curing eliminates the presence of any voids or the oxygen - inhibition layer that can weaken the framework. Together, these components provide doctors with a restoration that exhibits natural translucency and long term durability. If chair-side adjustment is needed, a direct polishing compound and a silicone wheel may be used. The bio-compatibility of the Targis Vectris System is another significant clinical advantage provided by this restorative alternative. Since this innovative fibre - reinforced system eliminates the necessity for a metal substructure adjacent soft tissue health is preserved. Further, the ability to place the restorations following conservative preparation protocols ensures enhanced gingival health and bio-compatablity.

In vitro studies have revealed that Targis Vectris presents with a flexural strength of 1000 mpa (= 10mpa), elastic modulus of 12,000mpa and wear against opposing dentition of less than 10 microns per year indicated for bridges, full coverage crowns, inlays onlays and implant substructures, targis/vectris is the most innovative choice for aesthetic, durable metal free restorations.
