Ceramics and Prosthetics
Biozir
Biozir is a zirconia ceramics brand used in dental laboratories. Its range consists of zirconia discs for making crowns and bridges. The discs come in different strength and translucency grades, so there is a suitable option for front teeth as well as back teeth, where chewing forces are higher. Publicly available company information about the brand is limited, so this page focuses on what the material itself offers.
Use at the clinic
Biozir zirconia is one of the materials used for crowns and bridges. It works well with digital design and milling (CAD/CAM) systems and offers a good choice of shades and translucency levels. Your dentist will decide which material suits you best after an examination.
Strengths
Metal-free material
Zirconia ceramic contains no metal. This means you avoid the grey line that can appear near the gum edge with metal-based crowns over time.
Natural-looking results
A range of shades and translucency levels makes it easier to match the crown to the colour of your own teeth.
Strong under chewing forces
Zirconia is known for its high strength among dental ceramics. It can also be used for load-bearing work such as bridges.
Made with a digital workflow
The discs are shaped with digital scanning and milling systems. This helps the crown fit your tooth precisely.
Points to consider
Limited public brand information
Biozir is less widely known than long-established global brands, and public documentation is harder to find on your own. Your dentist can answer questions about the material at your examination.
Replacement rather than repair
If a zirconia crown fractures, it usually cannot be repaired in the mouth. In that case the crown needs to be remade.
Not automatically the right choice for everyone
Teeth grinding, how your bite comes together and how much natural tooth remains all affect material choice. Your dentist will assess whether zirconia is suitable for you.
