With five esthetic shade options and the inclusion of Shade Stable Technology to prevent color shifts over time, Calibra Universal caters to various aesthetic requirements. Additionally, its high immediate bond strength ensures a strong initial bond for reliable and durable restorations.

In summary, Calibra Universal Self-Adhesive Resin Cement is a versatile, efficient, and user-friendly product that simplifies the dental restoration process while ensuring esthetic and functional excellence.

• 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.
