You can be assured that the shade of

Calibra Esthetic Resin Cement that you
use today will look as vital in the future
as it did the day you cemented it. Caulks
Shade Stable chemistry gives you the
confidence that the shade you place will
not shift over time.

Calibra Esthetic Resin Cements choice

of catalyst paste viscosities means
you get the right handling for the right
application. Calibra cements High
viscosity is never too fluid, so it wont
run off a restoration during placement.
Calibra cements Regular viscosity is just
the right consistency to flow underneath
a crown or bridge for a perfect seat.
Other cements can be too fluid or not
fluid enough.

Long-lasting strength

Superior retention

Esthetics for everyone

The Calibra System, including

Prime & Bond NT Dual Cure,
provides superior mechanical
properties, meaning the restoration
you place will last. Calibra cement
is formulated with the same resin
system used in TPH Spectrum,
the most popular composite in the
industry. The unique resin matrix and
small particle size give Calibra cement
unmatched strength and esthetics.

Tests conducted at a leading university

show that the force necessary to remove
a crown cemented with Calibra cement
and Prime & Bond NT exceeded that of
other popular materials.

The Shade Stable Calibra System

offers the right esthetic choice for
virtually every patient. Calibra
Esthetic Resin Cement is available
in 5 shades, including a translucent
shade, providing a broad spectrum
of shading possibilities.

Independent research comparing

competing cements shows Calibra
cements superior flexural strength
and flexural modulus, all contributing
to a long-lasting restoration.

And easy cleanup due to the gel stage

prior to set. Calibra cement sticks to
your brush for easy lift-off, unlike
other cements that might smear.

Low film thickness

Calibra Esthetic Resin Cement features
an ultra-low film thickness in both
Regular and High viscosities. This results
in an excellent fit for every inlay, onlay
and crown you place, and dramatically
reduces the incidence of improper
occlusion and seating problems.

A drop of Calibra Esthetic Resin Cement

was placed on an upright glass slide.
Another slide was pressed over the top
of the first slide, supported by the Calibra
cement. The same procedure was carried
out using another resin cement. After
30 seconds, the slide with the other
resin cement slid apart. The slide joined
with Calibra cement was still together,
demonstrating its outstanding ability to
hold a veneer in place.
