The BruxZir adjustment and polishing set, developed by Michael DiTolla, DDS, director of clinical education at Glidewell Laboratories, in conjunction with Axis Dental, is now available for purchase, Glidewell announced.
With the rise in popularity of monolithic zirconia restorations, clinicians will find it necessary to equip their operatories with diamonds and polishers designed especially for the adjustment, polishing, and removal of zirconia crowns and bridges, Glidewell noted.
"The indications for monolithic, solid zirconia restorations like BruxZir continue to increase, and the Axis BruxZir adjustment and polishing set make postcementation adjustments quick and easy," Dr. DiTolla stated. "I still remember the first few zirconia-based restorations I had to remove, and how it was nearly impossible with the wrong burs."
The set (LS-7579) contains three Zir-Cut diamond shapes, which help reduce the risk of chipping during adjustment, and two Zir-Cut zirconia polishing cups that finish with a high polish shine. The diamonds may also be used for cutting off zirconia crowns. The kit can be purchased through Axis Dental online.
