BruxZir™ Indications
BruxZir™ is indicated for bruxersand grinders when PFM metal occlusalor full-cast restorations are not desired. BruxZir™ is ideally suited for posterior molar crowns when the patient desires a tooth
colored restoration but lacks the preparation space for, or has broken a PFM crown in the past due to bruxing.
Patient Benefits
BruxZir™ is completely chip-proof, as it is made of solid zirconiawith no porcelain overlay. As a result, this monolithic material is extremely durable. The glazed smooth surface of the final BruxZir™ restora-tionprevents plaque buildup and opposing dentition wear.
Preparation Requirements
Shoulder preparation not needed, feather edge is okay. It is a conservative preparation similar to full-cast gold so any preparation with at least 0.5 mm of occlusalspace is accepted. Minimum occlusalreduction of 0.5 mm but 1 mm should be ideal.
