Zirconia

With an extensive clinical history of working with Full Contour Zirconia (FCZ) and more than 300,000 crowns seated, NDX provides an economical, efficient solution for posterior restorations when strength is a must. With these all-ceramic crowns, you can provide your patients with the strength to withstand severe parafunctional activity and avoid metal restorations. The FCZ crown or bridge contains no porcelain overlay. It is glazed with a smooth surface and functions optimally in the posterior. Benefits include: superior strength, a smooth metal-free finish to the gum line, biocompatible medical-grade zirconia and CAD/CAM fabrication for a consistent fit.

PFZ

An all-ceramic restoration with a zirconia core and a porcelain overlay. An alternative to PFM’s, the PFZ is more aesthetic than the total zirconia BruxZir^® restoration and can be prescribed anywhere in the mouth. By integrating the best of class CAD/CAM systems, NDX has created a crown that delivers on price, fit, strength, and aesthetics.
