BruxzirTM

BruxZirTM Solid Zirconia is made from virtually unbreakable, biocompatible medical-grade zirconia-the same element used to make bulletproof military armor. Because BruxZirTM has no porcelain overlay, it is more resistant to chipping, cracking or breaking in the mouth. This makes BruxZirTM ideal for bruxers and grinders, who have broken their natural teeth or porcelain restorations in the past.

Dentists have long relied on porcelain metal crowns & bridges for
long-term durability and strength but with the introduction of
BruxZirTM, an equally strong solution is now available.

Prescribe BruxZirTM

* Ideal for all types of posterior restoration including implants
* Ideal for bruxers who have destroyed natural teeth or previous
dental restorations.
* Conservatively prepare as thin as 0.5 mm with feather edge
margins, much like you would do full metal preps.

Transluency

Scientific validation

BruxZirTM Solid Zirconia crowns & bridges are made from the
highest quality zirÂconia powder from Japan. We chemically and
physically reprocess the powÂder to further reduce the zirconia
particle sizes. BruxZirTM milling blanks are then created through
a unique patent-pending process. Unlike conventional
high-pressure milling blank manufacture, our processing gives
BruxZirTM improved light transmission, which provides a lower,
more natural shade value.

Wear Compatibility

In a recent study1 to measure the volumetric loss of enamel,
glazed BruxZirTM was found to wear compatible with enamel
and virtually identical to glazed IPS e.max.

Antagonist Wear Study

The antagonistic (Steatite balls) wear shows BruxZirTM only with 72±21 microns, which is significantly lower than Ceramco®3 (110±48 microns). The University of Tübingen study was run using an eight chamber Willytec Chewing Simulator at 1.2 million cycles.
