Just when you thought the Hammer Test was the end, we've gone and pushed it to the next level. Never satisfied with resting on our laurels, Glidewell Laboratories put the BruxZir® Solid Zirconia Full-Arch Implant Prosthesis to the test, upping the risk this time with the Sledgehammer Test; because of course, when in doubt, sledge it out! Watch the smashing new video now.

Having survived countless hours of rigorous scientific testing at the hands of Glidewell Laboratories' award-winning R&D department, BruxZir® has been called "chip-proof," "bullet-proof," and "virtually unbreakable." Never satisfied, we decided to up the ante by pitting it against a traditional PFM in a less conventional test we dubbed... the Hammer Test.

Take an epic journey and see the origins of BruxZir® and the global effort involved in its creation.

BruxZir Solid Zirconia was first launched as a more durable, more esthetic alternative to posterior metal occlusal PFMs and full-cast metal restorations for demanding situations like bruxers, implant restorations and areas with limited occlusal space. Thanks to the continued efforts of our research and development team, BruxZir restorations now exhibit improved translucency and color similar to natural dentition, making them a restorative option in the anterior as well.

Roll out the red carpet ... Dentistry's biggest zirconia star is getting ready to take center space! In this gripping drama, a PFM fails to get the job done, and the GRAVITY of the situation causes a panic -- both on the ground and in orbit. Find out who's still standing when the debris settles.

See how utilizing BruxZir® Solid Zirconia in tetracycline cases can mask the staining, as well as correct an edge-to-edge bite. Watch as Dr. DiTolla explores the solution for such a case that came with an odd request from the dentist.
