Dentsply Calibra Universal Self-Adhesive Resin Cement – Translucent Shade

Dentsply Calibra Universal Self-Adhesive Resin Cement is an innovative dental product designed to simplify and enhance the process of permanent dental restoration cementation. This two-component, dual-cure resin cement stands out for its versatility and ease of use.

Calibra Universal boasts a comprehensive range of applications, suitable for cementing metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), resin/composite, ceramic, and porcelain inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, and endodontic posts. Its self-adhesive nature eliminates the need for a separate dentin/enamel adhesive bonding agent or system, streamlining the dental procedure.

With a tack-cure window of up to 10 seconds and a generous 45-second gel-phase, Calibra Universal simplifies cleanup and reduces procedural stress. Its high radiopacity provides a clear view of the restoration material within the crown, reducing the chances of misdiagnosis. With five esthetic shade options and Shade Stable Technology to prevent color shifts over time, it caters to various aesthetic requirements.

Directions to Use

Pre-Treatment: Follow dental lab or restoration manufacturer's directions for pre-treatment of the intaglio surface of the restoration, if required.

Apply Calibra Universal Cement: Dispense and discard a small amount of material from the dual-barreled syringe. Attach mixing tip. Apply a thin, uniform layer of Calibra Universal Cement to the entire intaglio surface of the restoration.

Seat Restoration: Protect restoration from contamination and movement until the final set of the cement (6 minutes from start of mix or completion of light curing).

Clean Up Excess: The excess cement will reach the gelled state after approximately 1–2 minutes in the mouth and will remain in the gelled state for approximately 1 minute. Remove excess promptly using dental instruments, paying special attention to interproximal areas and margins.

Light-Curing: If needed, use a curing light to polymerize the cement according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Final Check: Verify the restoration's occlusion, fit, and esthetics. Make any final adjustments if required.

Post-Operative Care: Provide post-operative instructions to the patient, including proper oral hygiene and care of the restoration.
