Dentists are increasingly turning to screw-retained crowns as they look for ways to simplify retrievability, provide resto­rations that excel in limited vertical space, and avoid the inconvenience and poten­tial complications associated with excess cement. Thanks to CAD/CAM capabilities that ensure a precise fit, quick seating and lifelike emergence profile, Glidewell produces screw-retained crowns that minimize chair time and make crown delivery easy and profitable.

Glidewell streamlines digital case processing with the help of a centralized digital order processing team. This team ensures an accurate result by screening incom­ing scans for accuracy and working with doctors to make sure the digital impres­sion is optimized to serve as the basis for the restoration. Plus, doctors receive every­day discounts on model-free BruxZir^® and IPS e.max^® screw-retained restorations produced from digital impressions. And with a comprehen­sive array of offerings for screw-retained crowns, Glidewell ensures doctors can deliver a restoration for every region of the mouth. Here’s a look at the types of screw-retained restorations available through Glidewell:

BruxZir Full-Strength Zirconia is engineered from a monolithic zirconia material built to withstand the toughest challenges of the oral environment. It is the strongest all-ceramic restorative material offered by Glidewell — or anyone else. BruxZir Esthetic offers natural translucency and extraordinary strength. Superior shading technology renders enhanced shade matching and consis­tency for even more beautiful results.

IPS e.max is a monolithic lithium disilicate ceramic that delivers outstanding esthetics. The unique formulation of IPS e.max provides an average flexural strength of 500 MPa, making it an ideal esthetic solution, without compromising strength.

Obsidian^® Fused to Metal restorations are more than four times stronger and achieve two times more chip resistance than conventional feldspathic porcelains. These restorations look natural and are ideal for areas where monolithic restorations are contraindicated, such as when occlusal space is limited.
