BruxZir Solid Zirconia screw-retained crowns

BioTemps Provisionals

BruxZir Solid Zirconia screw-retained crowns from Glidewell
Laboratories provide a one-piece alternative to cemented implant
restorations. Priced at $299, these monolithic restorations combine
the abutment and crown into a single solid prosthesis.
There are several benefits to using BruxZir screw-retained
crowns, including the elimination of the possibility of a crown
margin, which in turn removes any concern about excess cement;
the ability of easy retrievability in situations where a crown may
need to be removed; and no possibility of porcelain fracturing
off because the restorations are monolithic. All these advantages
build upon BruxZir Solid Zirconia's impressive strength and
shade-matching capabilities.

The suite of BruxZir Solid Zirconia solutions provides excellent
definitive treatment options that please patients and dentists alike.
To set the stage to achieve outstanding results, clinicians can
choose BioTemps Provisionals. Prescribed before preparing the
tooth, BioTemps are fabricated based on preoperative models or
impressions. Digital design software then virtually prepares the
tooth, reducing by a preapproved amount, and seats BioTemps
over the preparations. The approved design is then milled from a
PMMA milling blank and delivered to the dentist.
BioTemps offer many benefits. Patients are sure to appreciate that
BioTemps enable them to maintain their active lifestyles between
dental appointments and stay engaged in their favorite everyday
activities. Compared to chairside-fabricated provisional options,
they are aesthetic and blend well with natural dentition.
Clinicians can utilize BioTemps to enable the patient to test drive
final treatment. If the patient approves, Glidewell can fabricate the
final restorations utilizing the same digital file to ensure a matching
result. In addition to increasing case acceptance, BioTemps lead
to improved healing and shaping of the gingival tissue during the
provisional stage.
BruxZir Solid Zirconia restorations pair excellently with
BioTemps, increasing the likelihood of an outstanding result. ■

The BruxZir Full-Arch Implant Prosthesis
Constructed from 100 percent solid zirconia, the BruxZir FullArch Implant Prosthesis is an aesthetic, more durable alternative to
the screw-retained acrylic hybrid denture. By permanently attaching
to four or more dental implants, this full-arch restoration provides
the same superior stability and function as the fixed hybrid denture,
but with a monolithic construction that avoids the chipping, stains
and fractures that can compromise acrylic appliances.
With superior fracture toughness and flexural strength of up
to 1,465 MPa, BruxZir Solid Zirconia is ideal for withstanding the
functional stresses that full-arch restorations must endure. And yet
the material is hypoallergenic and wear-friendly to opposing dentition.
The restorative protocol is straightforward and similar to that of
the screw-retained hybrid denture. A PMMA provisional full-arch
implant prosthesis is included in the $2,995 list price to ensure
that both patient and doctor are satisfied with the definitive design
before the final restoration is milled from monolithic zirconia. The
result is a highly accurate, exceptionally strong, lifelike restoration
that shares the same excellent long-term prognosis as the dental
implants holding it in place.
