MAX and zirconium. Both offer top-grade results for long-lasting dental crowns. As mentioned before, E. MAX is more translucent than zirconium, and that’s the only noticeable difference between the two materials.
What is BruxZir Crown Post?
Bruxzir crowns are a type of ceramic crown that is made from zirconium oxide, also known as zirconia. This material is rapidly increasing in popularity and is not only used for crowns, but for bridges, inlays/onlays, implant-supported crowns and dentures, and veneers.
Is BruxZir the same as zirconia?
BruxZir is Glidewell’s in-house manufactured zirconia, which is also sold to other labs who have to sell it under the same brand name.

It looks better, is stronger, and isn’t prone to chipping and cracking. This is the best solution for those seeking a high-strength restoration without compromising a natural appearance and lifelike translucency. These crowns last about 10-15 years.
Is Emax more expensive than zirconia?
Zirconia and e. max crowns both tend to be more expensive than traditional porcelain crowns, but the value you get back in the length of your crown’s life is worth it for many patients. Out of the two types of crowns, however, e. max crowns are the most expensive.

What is BruxZir esthetic?
BruxZir Esthetic Zirconia is a new category of dental zirconia, made possible by years of research & development at Glidewell. This anterior-grade formulation is created using proprietary processing, which results in natural translucency, beautiful shade-matching and extraordinary strength.
How strong is BruxZir?
At 870 MPa of flexural strength, BruxZir Esthetic zirconia is 74\% stronger than lithium disilicate and capable of withstanding occlusal stresses. At the same time, BruxZir Esthetic zirconia’s proprietary processing technique delivers exquisite translucency and more lifelike restorations.
Are EMAX crowns good for back teeth?
Also, since front teeth are the most visible ones, they need crowns that exactly match the adjacent tooth colour. But in the posterior teeth or back teeth where masticatory forces are heavy, all ceramic crowns, be it zirconium or E-max, should be avoided.

What is the difference between Emax and layered zirconia?
A. Layered Zirconia, because even the weakest form of translucent zirconia is twice as strong as Emax. When we add microlayers to zirconia crowns, we take full contour zirconia, cut out a window on the face of the crown (so as to not compromise the strength of the crown) and overlay it with translucent porcelains which we then bake on.
Can you use Emax or zirconia for front teeth?
Zirconia and emax can both be used on front teeth but zirconia has to be in a crown form. Zirconia needs to have a micromechanical retention fit on the tooth which should be in the form of a crown. From there, the dentist can cement on the zirconia restoration.
What is the best material for Emax crowns?
EMax can be used as a core material whereby porcelain can be layered on the surface to increase the esthetic value of restoration for anterior eMax restorations. Zirconia is an interesting type of crown that has been used for the past eight to ten years continues to be used today.
