BruxZir® Esthetic Zirconia is a new category of dental zirconia made possible by years of research & development at Glidewell.
Optimized combination of strength and translucency
Lifelike vitality, engineered for the anterior
Enhanced shade matching for predictable results
Beauty in a Class of Its Own
BruxZir Esthetic Zirconia is a new category of dental zirconia, made possible by years of research & development at Glidewell. This anterior-grade formulation is created using proprietary processing, which results in natural translucency, beautiful shade-matching and extraordinary strength.
BruxZir Esthetic offers an average flexural strength of 870 MPa, and can be prescribed in tandem with the original BruxZir Full-Strength Zirconia to enable clinicians to utilize monolithic zirconia across the entire arch.
High Flexural Strength
The restorative formulations in the BruxZir Zirconia family exhibit flexural strengths significantly greater than those of other tooth-colored options, and exceed the ISO 6872:2015 strength recommendations for bridges of 4 or more units.
Enhanced Light Transmission
The BruxZir formulations exhibit superior translucency in the warm color wavelengths when compared to other zirconias, resulting in more lifelike restorations for patients.
Preparation Guidelines
A. 1.25 mm ideal reduction (0.7mm minimum)
B. Chamfer or modified shoulder margins preferred
C. Axial walls must be convergent (avoid undercuts)
D. Preparation should be cut in three planes
E. To achieve optimal impression quality, gingival retraction is necessary for preparations with subgingival or equigingival margins
