The BruxZir Solid Zirconia Half-Arch Implant Prosthesis offers a fixed, all-zirconia implant solution for partially edentulous patients who desire a more durable replacement for removable partial dentures. Constructed from 100 percent BruxZir Solid Zirconia and attaching to implants via titanium connections, this half-arch restoration can dramatically improve patient quality of life, according to the company.

BruxZir Solid Zirconia offers superior fracture toughness and exhibits flexural strengths of up to 1,465 MPa, making it an ideal material for enduring the functional stresses of the mouth.

Scanned, designed and milled with CAD/CAM technology, the BruxZir Half-Arch Implant Prosthesis can help clinicians achieve a predictable restorative result.

Half-arch prostheses are milled from esthetic BruxZir Shaded milling blanks, which, when processed, create restorations that exhibit vital translucency and color similar to natural dentition. The esthetics of the material are then enhanced with staining and glazing techniques.

Strong, hygienic and affordably priced, according to the company, the BruxZir Half-Arch Implant Prosthesis offers resistance to the chips, fractures and stains that can compromise acrylic prostheses.

What’s more, the BruxZir Half-Arch Implant Prosthesis is backed by a seven-year free replacement warranty. If material damage occurs on the device, a new prosthesis will be milled and finished from the stored digital data.

Available for half-arch indications for the first time, BruxZir Solid Zirconia is hypoallergenic and has been shown in clinical studies to be wear-compatible with enamel.

The BruxZir Solid Zirconia Half-Arch Implant Prosthesis is priced at $1,795 and includes the final prosthesis, a provisional CAD/CAM implant prosthesis made out of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), all labor, model and die work, analogs, setups, bite blocks, try-ins and verification jigs.
