Abstract
A method of restoring a tooth using a dental construct of the type wherein the construct is placed onto the tooth using a dental cement to bond the construct to the tooth. After placement of the construct onto the tooth, excess cement is removed with a soft, pointed brush. The dental margins are then brushed with a photocurable dental resin cement which is the same as or different from the dental cement used to bond the construct to the tooth. The resin cement is then light cured.
