Fortunately, newadhesivecementshave
been developed that offer greater stability,
durability, longevity and esthetics, there-
fore reducing the risk of failure and
enhancing the predictability of the indi-
rect restorative placement process.4 The
availability of these new adhesive mate-
rials provides clinicians with alternatives
that demonstrate high bond
strength and require simple
protocol, all while achieving
long-lasting results.
developments in adhesive science
have led to an evolution in tech-
niques for seating indirect restorations.1-3
The earliest adhesive materials demon-
strated difficulty in handling, required
multiple bonding steps prior to place-
ment, had low bond strength, high solu-
bility and opacity.2,3 However, in the wake
of complications associated with indirect
restorative treatments—suchas improper
preparation, occlusal positioning, curing
and excess material near the margins and
interproximal areas that can detrimen-
tally affect sound bone — proper adhesive
protocol improves the predictability of
long-term restorative success.

Multilink Automix is a universal
cementation system for efficiently and
effectively achieving long-term clin-
ical success when cementing indirect
restorations. Demonstrating a range of
versatility, the adhesive cementation
system is indicated for indirect restora-
tions, inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges and
posts fabricated from materials such
as all-ceramics, precious alloys, oxide
ceramics, fiber-reinforced composites,
metal and metal ceramics.
With high immediate bond strengths,
