Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

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 PROBLEM
During direct restoration it can be difficult to model and control the correct amount and position of dentin and enamel.
THE SOLUTION
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.
THE TWO “IN” & “OUT” TERMINALS
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.

WeRestore.it
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.

Complete your 3SSENTIAL KIT BY WeRestore.it with Calibra!
The Hu-Friedy 3SSENTIAL KIT by Werestore.it is the most straightforward kit of restorative ever made, with just 3 essential instruments at once: Anterior, Posterior and Spatula, from the Hu-Friedy Black Line Collection.
WHY USE AN IMS CASSETTE SYSTEM?
By standardising your instruments with IMS, additional time and revenue is generated while extending the useful life of your Hu-Friedy instruments. Dental professionals state that by implementing IMS, they save 5 to 10 minutes* per procedure allowing the staff to spend more time on value-added activities. In addition, safer transportation of soiled instruments reduces risk of injury and exposure to blood borne pathogens.

CALIBRA - HOW TO DO?
by WeRestore.it
,
Calibra consists of two terminals: “IN” which defines the dentinal skeleton. “OUT” which allows to verifythe 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):
Once the box technique has been performed (molding of the palatal wall, the incisal edge and the interproximal walls), place the selected dentine inside the box.
Put the Calibra IN in position by sliding the pointed end inside the incisal edge, while the end of the instrument will rest on the sound part of the tooth. Starting from the center of the tooth (or restoration), move the Calibra IN first towards the mesial and, subsequently, from the center towards the distal; then remove the excess composite by connecting with tools or brushes.
By carefully following this procedure, you will have given the right anatomical curvature from the preparation margin to the incisal margin, you will have left the space necessary for the last layer of enamel, and you will have reserved an incisal slot useful for placing any translucent effect shades.
,
HOW CALIBRA "OUT" WORKS
For the function of checking the thicknesses (how much space is left for the surface layer): place the instrument on the incisal margin (with the relative stop) and the terminal beyond the preparation margin. For the modeling function: Slide the tool on the incisal margin (with the relative stop) by pressing the terminal lightly beyond the preparation margin. Start from the center of the tooth / restoration by moving the Calibra OUT first towards the mesial and, subsequently, from the median towards the distal; then remove the composite surpluses.
By following the procedure carefully, you will have avoided the composite over-contour at the preparation margin and, when applying the last layer of enamel, you will have anatomically connected the preparation margin with the incisal margin.
