Tooth Conditioner

  1. Apply Caulk® 34% Tooth Conditioner Gel to available enamel (and dentin if desired) for 15 seconds. Rinse for 10 seconds. Blot dry to keep moist, do not rub.

    For full coverage crowns, etching dentin is not recommended to minimize the possibility of post-op sensitivity.

Apply Bond to Tooth

  1. Apply generous amounts of 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.

Air Dry

  1. Gently air dry for five seconds. Surface should have a uniform, glossy appearance. If not, repeat application.

    Minimum work time: 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Apply Calibra to Wings

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

Seat

Pre-Cure

    Remember: Calibra self-cures fully in 6 minutes.
