PAGE 1 OF 2 BruxZir® Solid Zirconia Crown and Inclusive® Custom Titanium Abutment (View Image)
Why should you be interested in the monolithic concept of a solid zirconia crown? As you know, when you fuse porcelain to a metal or zirconia substructure, there is always the possibility that the two layers could separate. The best-case scenario is a small chip of the porcelain that you might be able to polish off. The worst-case scenario is that the porcelain completely fractures, exposing the substructure and requiring replacement.
A key benefit of monolithic restorations is that nothing can chip off, as we don't have two materials fused together. The restoration is made of one homogeneous material. BruxZir is a full-contour zirconia restoration with no porcelain veneer.
More brawn than beauty, the BruxZir Solid Zirconia crown has rapidly gained popularity for posterior restorations thanks to the precision milling of CAD/CAM technology. With the increasing price of gold for porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations, the proven strength of zirconia gives you a viable option for your posterior implant crowns and bridges.
Inclusive® Custom Titanium Abutments provide ideal support for the restoration and the soft tissue. This CAD/CAM-designed abutment exhibits a natural-looking emergence and provides strength and durability. The laboratory virtually designs your abutment and mills a tailor-made solution of the highest quality. Also available in the Inclusive line of products is the Inclusive All-Zirconia Abutment and the Inclusive Zirconia Abutment with Titanium Insert.

The Screw-Retained BruxZir Crown provides a one-piece alternative to cemented implant restorations. This restoration combines the abutment and crown into one solid restoration. The benefits include: no crown margin, and therefore no concerns about excess cement;
