CHICAGO—Glidewell recently unveiled a new aesthetic formulation of its BruxZir Implant Prosthesis, a product that was launched in 2013 as a durable, lifelike alternative to the acrylic hybrid denture. The BruxZir Esthetic Implant Prosthesis, which features high translucency paired with a high flexural strength of 870 MPa, is constructed of 100% solid zirconia and, like the original version of the product, is engineered to avoid chips, fractures and premature wear. 

With the new addition to the line of BruxZir restorative solutions, clinicians have an option for edentulous implant patients with high aesthetic expectation—without the risk of fracturing the veneering material used in most premium full-arch zirconia restorations.

"The BruxZir Esthetic Implant Prosthesis is a superb monolithic restoration," said Darius Raudys, manager of the implant department at Glidewell. "We use the latest CAD/CAM technology to mill the entire prosthesis from a block of BruxZir Esthetic Zirconia. And our technicians have spent years developing staining techniques that result in gingival anatomy that is remarkably lifelike. The result is a beautiful restoration that won't break—at nearly half the price you'll pay through boutique dental labs."

The company also announced that the restorative protocol used to fabricate the BruxZir Implant Prosthesis has been overhauled to enhance clinical efficiency. The protocol, based on extensive feedback from dentists and clinical R&D conducted in the company's dental operatories, is expected to produce more accurate results.

"Our new process will save dentists time by minimizing wax reset appointments," said Brian Volken, director of implant business development at Glidewell. "This frees up valuable chair time for the doctor and gives patients a better experience, as well as a lifelike restoration they'll be proud to show off."
