BruxZir Solid Zirconia Dental Crown
What is BruxZir Zirconia?
BruxZir® Solid Zirconia is a monolithic zirconia crown, bridge, screw-retained implant crown, inlay or onlay with no porcelain overlay. First launched as being "More Brawn Than Beauty," the material was originally intended to provide a durable, more esthetic alternative to posterior metal occlusal PFMs or cast gold restorations for demanding situations like bruxers, implant restorations and areas with limited occlusal space. Now, thanks to the new BruxZir™ Shaded formulation, BruxZir restorations exhibit improved translucency and color similar to natural dentition, making them a restorative option in the anterior as well. Complete color penetration all the way through the restorations ensures greater shade consistency and prevents any shade changes after occlusal adjustment.
Designed and milled using CAD/CAM technology, BruxZir Solid Zirconia is sintered for 2.0 hours at 1,530 degrees Celsius to achieve optimum strength. The final BruxZir crown or bridge is then glazed to a smooth surface. BruxZir Solid Zirconia dental crowns & dental bridges are backed by Glidewell Dental Lab's seven-year free replacement warranty.

BruxZir is the fastest-growing product in company history, with dozens of dental labs across the U.S. clamoring to become an authorized BruxZir Lab. The unique composition of BruxZir Solid Zirconia has garnered accolades from dental zirconia supplier Tosoh Corporation and the Pride Institute, and The Dental Advisor named BruxZir Solid Zirconia a Top Long Term Performer in 2013.
Indications
BruxZir Solid Zirconia is indicated for crowns, bridges, implants, inlays and onlays. It is an esthetic alternative to PFM metal occlusal/lingual or full-cast restorations. The chip proof durability of BruxZir is ideal for bruxers who have broken natural teeth or previous PFM restorations. BruxZir is also ideal when the patient lacks the preparation space for a PFM.
