PRE-TREATMENT Follow dental lab or restoration’s 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.

Working Time Tack-cure window of up to 10 seconds for precise placement and a 45-second extended gel phase for easy cleanup.
CLEAN UP EXCESS: SELF CURE The excess cement will reach the “gelled” state after approximately 1-2 minutes in the mouth. Excess cement will remain in the gelled state for approximately 1 minute.
Preparation: Prepare the tooth structure and the restoration according to standard dental procedures. Ensure that both are clean and free of contaminants.
Mixing: Dispense the required amount of Calibra Universal Cement from the dual-barreled syringe. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the appropriate ratio of base and catalyst. Mix thoroughly for the recommended time to ensure proper activation.
Application: Apply a thin layer of the mixed cement onto the internal surface of the restoration. Ensure even coverage.
Seating the Restoration: Carefully place the restoration onto the prepared tooth structure, ensuring proper alignment and fit. Apply gentle pressure to seat it firmly.
Excess Removal: Any excess cement that squeezes out should be removed promptly using dental instruments. Pay special attention to interproximal areas and margins.
Light-Curing: Calibra Universal Cement may require light curing, depending on the clinical situation. If needed, use a curing light to polymerize the cement according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Cleanup: During the gel phase, which lasts for approximately 45 seconds, you can perform any additional cleanup or adjustments as necessary.
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.
