"Full Z" Goes Full Speed

The full contour zirconia trend began in 2009, with the launch of Glidewell’s BruxZir® Solid Zirconia crowns and bridges, marketed as a “virtually unbreakable” option for bruxers and grinders. Other manufacturers began to follow suit and introduce their own solid zirconia options and “Full Z” became one of the fastest-growing restorations in our industry’s history.

With an ever-expanding portfolio of material choices—including multi-layered and ultra translucent options—this restoration continues to make up the bulk of C&B workloads across the country.
