FOR CALIBRATED RESTORATIONS Calibra is an XTS (AlTiN)* coated composite instrument which helps to provide the proper anatomical curvature to the dentin material layer of a restoration and leaves the ideal space for the final layer of enamel material. The Calibra “IN” point is used to define the dentinal skeleton, while the Calibra “OUT” point helps to reduce the chances of excess composite material being placed during the final layer of the restoration. Calibra acts as a guide, helping to prevent over-contouring at the preparation margin while assisting in reducing excess composite thickness build up as well as modeling the final layer of composite material. CODE TNCALIBRA DESCRIPTION WeRestore.it is a project founded in 2016 by Gaetano Paolone and Salvatore Scolavino. WeRestore.it aims for excellence in adhesive direct and indirect restorative dentistry. Both Salvatore and Gaetano are active members of the Italian Academy of Restorative Dentistry and the Italian Academy of Esthetic Dentistry. They wrote 2 textbooks, focusing on direct posterior restorations and direct anterior restorations, both edited by Quintessence Int. Publishing. Gaetano is adjunct professor of Restorative Dentistry at Vita e Salute University, San Raffaele, Milan. Salvatore is adjunct professor of Restorative Dentistry at La Statale University, Milan. Gaetano and Salvatore lecture around the world on restorative dentistry and run master courses in the WeRestore.it course center in Rome. www.WeRestore.it** Visit us online at Hu-Friedy.eu ©2020 Hu-Friedy Mfg.

Calibra consists of two terminals: "IN” which defines the dentinal skeleton. "OUT” which allows to verify the thickness and shape of the last layer without excess. This instrument is in fact both the first caliper ever produced to check the thickness (a practical alternative to the sagittal silicone index) and the first modeling tool ever produced for the last layer. HOW CALIBRA IN WORKS If you use a dentin / enamel system, you can use Calibra in the following way. (If you use only one shade, go to the description of the Calibra OUT): 1. Once the box technique has been performed (molding of...
