KDZ Bruxer®

Full contour zirconia crowns and ceramic implant crowns dental

Description

KDZ Bruxer®

With zirconia formulated by Keating Dental Lab’s research and development team to meet our demanding standards for durability and aesthetics, the KDZ Bruxer® crowns are the most esthetic monolithic zirconia restorations on the market. They are gentle on opposing enamel for bruxing patients, yet strong enough for long-span bridges with an average flexural strength of 1,100 MPa. The KDZ Bruxer® crowns are available in all 16 Classic Vita shades.

Ceramic Dental Implant Crowns

This is the fastest growing restoration in the history of dentistry. We really have two different materials, or two applications for this. The first one would be what we call the KDZ Bruxer®. The flexural strength of the KDZ Bruxer® is about a 1000, to 1,200, megapascals and is ten times stronger than a PFM. A new material that we use is the KDZ Bruxer®, which is a tooth colored material that is very, very strong. We can actually put this implant crown to place, and it’ll look just like a natural tooth. You’ll be able to floss around it just like a natural tooth.

Indications

  • Posterior Crowns or Bridges
  • Screw-Retained Crowns or Bridges
  • Crowns or Bridges over Custom Abutments

“I’ve tried several dental labs looking for the right artistic ability to show through those crowns. With Keating Dental Lab, I have completed my search for the perfect restoration. Whether it is an all-ceramic veneer or a full crown restoration, it all comes together: aesthetics, contour, and fit. Tooth morphology at its finest. Plus, Shaun’s unconditionally attentive staff makes my lab experience worthy of a genuine partner. My appreciation to you guys!”

“Single unit central cases are by far one of the more difficult cases that dentists are presented with. While working with Keating lab from across the US, we were able to nail this case on the first try. Due to their dedication to excellence and vast knowledge of materials, cases like this can and are done with ease. Thanks to all of the wonderful staff at Keating for making this case an overwhelming success.”

“Keating Dental Lab is the best laboratory that I have used in my 23 year career! Starting from the first case with Keating, I immediately noticed the professionalism of their staff and the promptness of their delivery schedule. The model work is clean and accurate, the prosthesis is delivered in a clear suspended jewel case, and the fit, occlusion and color match is exceptional. I’ve done simple single unit crowns and inlays to full mouth rehabilitation cases with Keating, and their work has shined. I have tried large, nationally known labs, local boutique labs, and everything in between. Keating lab stands heads and shoulders above every lab that I have used …a real winner!”

“My practice consists of many current and former NHL players and their families. I depend on Keating Dental Lab to give me not only great fit and function, but also excellent esthetics for these celebrity patients. Shaun and his team deliver this “hat trick” for me in a very warm, personal and professional way that is important to me as well.”

“I have been using Shaun and his team since they opened their doors. It continues to amaze me that they are not the small labs right around the corner-great customer service, consistently solid work – they are the “Cheers” lab — where everybody knows your name. I know that they are a big lab but they also have a big heart. That is something they will never outgrow. Thanks Team Keating — you guys & gals are amazing!”

I have been working with KDL for almost 10 years now, and have been thoroughly impressed with their consistent, quality work. From custom shading porcelain with unusual graphics, to complex fixed with VDO changes; the results are always spot-on. I’m yet to be let down. The digital model-less KDZ Bruxer® units come back reliably quick, always a speedy delivery, and redos shockingly low and almost entirely limited to just shade reglazes when I choose poorly. They are always happy to share their massive wealth of knowledge, helping sculpt me into the best restorative dentist I can be.

DURABLE

High Quality

Three to six times the fracture toughness (aka K1C value) of typical zirconia

Advantages

The main difference in the KDZ Bruxer is that it has a higher flexural strength, so with the KDZ Bruxer, we have a flexural strength of about 1500 megapascals and flexural strength is how they measure ceramic materials. Our technicians take a bar of ceramic, they put it on 2 sawhorses, they apply force until it breaks, and that is the flexural strength. So theoretically, the higher the flexural strength, the more durable the ceramic. There is undoubtedly going to be marginal ridges, central fossa, cuss tips, or any ceramic hanging off the prep, that is undergoing stress. It is similar to what we would see with the flexural strength test.
