For all your definite cementation needs
Definitive Cements are used for permanent placement of indirect restorations. One of the key tasks is to provide reliable marginal seal. Sealing the space between indirect restoration and prepared tooth is one of the essential tasks of any dental cement. Thus, penetration of microorganisms and caries formation is delayed as long as possible.
Definitive Cements can be broken down into two groups:
- Classic or Conventional Cements (Paste-Paste or Powder-Liquid)
- Resin Cements (Adhesive or Self-Adhesive)
The Calibra family of definitive cements was designed to make it easier than ever to achieve consistent, successful results in your indirect restorations.
Resin-Based Cements
Benefits
Why choose Calibra Cements?
Easy Cleanup
Because 21% of crown failures are due to secondary caries, of which excess cement can be one of the contributing factors,³ thorough removal of excess is key to ensuring durable restorations. Most cements give you extremely limited time for cleanup, increasing the likelihood of excess being left on the tooth, especially interproximally.1 Calibra Cements offer easy, unhurried cleanup for convenience and the assurance of a long-lasting restoration.
Reliable Brand
Calibra is a trusted brand with over a decade of clinical performance.
The Easy, Universal Choice
Calibra Universal Self-Adhesive Resin Cement
With a formulation that suits so many types of restorations, it’s no wonder it’s called Calibra Universal Cement. It’s the simple choice for successful results across a wide array of indications.2
- One-step cementation means no additional etchant or adhesive
- High immediate 6-minute bond strength for a strong initial bond
- 5 esthetic shade options with Shade Stable® technology virtually eliminates color shift over time
Simplified Cement Selection
Determining which cement is best suited for a specific indication has been complicated and confusing, and can cause a restoration to fail if selected incorrectly.
Use our Selection Tool to find the right cement and ensure the success of your restorations.

The complete solution for CEREC Tessera restorations
The answer to which cement is correct for a certain situation depends largely on the type of restoration and its wall thickness. Fundamentally all types of CEREC Tessera glass ceramic restoration can be cemented fully adhesively.
- Inlays, onlays and partial crowns have to be cemented fully adhesively, that is using Prime&Bond and Calibra Ceram.
- Veneers have to be cemented fully adhesively, that is using Prime&Bond and Calibra Veneer.
- Anterior and posterior crowns with a wall thickness of approximately 1.5 millimeters or more may also be cemented with a glass ionomer technology based cement, such as Calibra Universal.
Inlays, onlays and partial crown restorations with a wall-thickness <1.5mm
Anterior and posterior crown restorations with a wall thickness >1.5mm
The complete solution for Celtra Duo (ZLS) restorations
Developed to make a difference at each step in the restorative process, each component of the Celtra Duo system was designed to perform ideally when used together. When used as a system, the result is a remarkably strong and long-lasting bond you can rely on.
