Zir-Cut™ burs are absolutely necessary when replacing zirconia-based restorations.

New from Axis Dental are Zir-Cut burs, filling a need just recently created. It’s a huge time-saver, too. Zirconia-based restorations entered the market a few years ago and are now hitting their strides. Two of the newer systems (Lava™ from 3M™ ESPE™ [St. Paul, Minn.] and Prismatik CZ™ from Glidewell Labs [Newport Beach, Calif.]) are so strong that nothing will cut efficiently through their zirconia substructures.

Enter the Zir-Cut burs, absolutely necessary when replacing these all-ceramic, cementable restorations. Even if you aren’t placing zirconia restorations (which I now do routinely), one day you will have to take off a zirconia crown placed by another dentist, and you’d better have some Zir-Cut burs on hand!
