BruxZir^®

“More Brawn Than Beauty”

BruxZir® Total Zirconia Crowns are a new option for posterior restorations. With these virtually unbreakable all-ceramic crowns, you can provide your patients the strength to withstand severe parafunctional activity and avoid metal restorations. BruxZir is a full contoured zirconia crown or bridge with no porcelain overlay. It is glazed with a smooth surface but designed specifically for the posterior with more emphasis on brawn than beauty.

Benefits of BruxZir

• Ideal for bruxers & grinders who have destroyed other restorations.
• An esthetic alternative to posterior PFMs with metal occlusals and full-cast crowns.
• Made with biocompatible medical-grade zirconia.
• Monolithic material makes the restoration completely chip-proof.
• Fabricated using CAD/CAM technology for consistent fit.

Cementing Recommendations

• Resin reinforced glass ionomer cement
• Resin cements for short or over-tapered preparations (Unicem, 3M ESPE)

Prep Requirements

• Shoulder preparation not needed, feather edge is okay.
• It is a conservative preparation similar to full cast gold preps.
• 1.0 mm of occlusal space is ideal, however a prep with at least 0.5 mm is acceptable.
