BruxZir®

BruxZir®

The recent rise in popularity of full-contour zirconia has allowed for a shift in preference from more esthetics to better translucency and color matching. While most clinicians would have previously used posterior metal occlusal PFMs or cast gold restorations, BruxZir® now offers complete shade penetration that can be deployed with superior results on any patient without having an issue when it comes time treat stains such as coffee grounds between tooth visits!

Adjustments and Polishing

When adjusting zirconia crowns and bridges, use water to cool the restoration. Avoid micro-fractures by using a fine grit diamond burr that will also lighten its coloration before you make adjustments with air only; it is best for anterior teeth if football shaped (occlusal) or tapered but not lingual surfaces where there’s more risk of damaging buccal alveolar bone close up so an alternative tool may be needed here!
