Mix Prime & Bond® NT™ Dual Cure

Apply Bond to Tooth

  1. Apply Prime & Bond NT Dual Cure mixture to thoroughly wet the tooth surfaces. These surfaces should remain wet for 20 seconds, which may necessitate additional adhesive. Gently air dry for five seconds. Surface should have a uniform, glossy appearance. If not, repeat application. Light cure Prime & Bond NT Dual Cure for 10 seconds.

Mix Calibra

  1. On a mixing pad, dispense equal amounts of the desired shade of Calibra base and REGULAR OR HIGH VISCOSITY catalyst. Mix 10-20 seconds until uniform.

    Minimum work time: 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Apply Calibra

  1. Apply a thin layer of cement to all bonding surfaces of the restoration.

    TIP: Sometimes it's easier to apply a thin layer of cement to the internal portions of the tooth preparation to avoid any porosity or voids.

Seat

  1. Seat the restoration slowly. Maintain downward pressure and remove excess cement from marginal areas with a dry brush.
    2.

Pre-Cure

  1. A 10-second light "Pre-Cure" at the margins will "gel" the excess cement for easy clean-up.

Remove Excess

  1. Lift off the excess cement around the margins.

Light Cure

  1. Once stabilized, light cure all marginal areas for 20 seconds from the buccal, lingual and occlusal aspects.

    Apply moderate pressure throughout the 6-minute self-cure set time.

Finish
