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.
Are you curious to find out about a novel technique featuring our new Calibra that is able to save chair-time and dental laboratory costs during direct restorations in anterior teeth?

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.
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.
