Release of BruxZir Shaded 16 in the Cerec form factor provides laboratories using Sirona’s milling system with access to Glidewell Laboratories’ signature restorative zirconia.

Glidewell Laboratories, a provider of dental laboratory products and services, recently announced the release of BruxZir Shaded 16 blocks compatible with Cerec and inLab MC XL milling machines, the dental CAD/CAM solutions from Sirona Dental Systems Inc. The new blocks, available in both 20 by 19 and 40 by 19 sizes, are to be distributed exclusively by Henry Schein Inc., a provider of health-care products and services to office-based dental, animal health, and medical practitioners.

BruxZir Shaded 16 (the series of pre-shaded zirconia blocks matching all 16 Vita classical shades) is an iteration of the BruxZir Solid Zirconia line — a widely prescribed brand of solid zirconia restorative material. Known for its strength and vital translucence, the addition of inLab-compatible BruxZir Shaded 16 blocks to the BruxZir portfolio will deliver consistency and complete shade penetration to dental technicians implementing Sirona’s Cerec and MC XL milling machines. With the market penetration of Sirona CAD/CAM systems, distribution of blocks consistent with the machine’s specifications ensures a wide new audience for the benefits provided.
