NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns offer excellent esthetics, reliable durability, and easy placement to satisfy both clinicians and patients.

A n evaluator with 11 years of experience in den-tistry said, “NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns are a great advancement in pediatric dentistry.”

All 11 dentists who participated in this Dental Product Shopper evaluation said that they would recommend NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns to their colleagues.

Made from high-grade monolithic zirconia ceramic, NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns offer excellent esthetics, reliable durability, and easy placement compared to com-posite restorations and strip crowns. To aid in pediatric restorative dentistry, NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns are available in 7 sizes for each primary tooth and “narrow” first primary molars.

Eleven current NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns custom-ers with a total of 130 years of experience in dentistry participated in this Dental Product Shopper evaluation. Each dentist rated and commented on several product features, including overall esthetics, strength/durability of crowns, and patient and clinician satisfaction.

Overall EstheticsManufacturer Description: The translucency of NuSmile

ZR Anterior Crowns’ zirconia ceramic is optimized for

both natural esthetics and to prevent the problem of dark tooth show through of pulpally treated teeth, ensuring continued satisfaction with the restoration over time. NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns are metal-free and come in 2 natural pedo shades.

Evaluator Feedback: Seven evaluators rated NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns’ overall esthetics as their favorite product feature. A dentist with 14 years of experience said, “I have tried other competitive brands, but none are comparable to the esthetics of NuSmile.”

A second dentist said, “NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns are the most durable and esthetic pediatric crowns. They are the least bulky and have a more natural emergence profile.”

A third evaluator added, “Not only are the esthetics excellent, but also the gingival health around NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns is far better than with esthetic steel crowns.” All 3 evaluators said they would definitely pur-chase the product again in the future.

Strength/durability of CrownsManufacturer Description: Manu-

factured with high-quality materials, NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns are 9 times stronger than natural teeth. The crowns offer durability to last until the tooth exfoliates without needing any ongoing repairs.

Evaluator Feedback: Nine evaluators rated NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns’ strength/durability as excellent or very good. A Texas-based dentist said, “The durability is what I like best about this product.” A second evaluator said, “They are an excellent cosmetic option for the restoration of severely decayed primary incisors.”

When asked how the NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns could be improved, one evaluator said, “My cases seem to stay cemented quite well overall, though as with all crowns, I have an occasional one get knocked off.” A second evaluator suggested the crowns should have “better retention.” Both evaluators said their overall satisfac-tion with the product was “excellent.”

Patient and Clinician SatisfactionManufacturer Description: Easy to

place, NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns offer the highest esthetics to satisfy

both clinicians, patients, and their parents. They provide the ideal thick-ness for strength and minimum tooth reduction, and their thin (0.2 mm) margin provides optimal fitand gingival health.

Evaluator Feedback: A Washington-based dentist said, “My patients and parents prefer these crowns over tradi-tional [stainless steel crowns].” A second evaluator said, “The consistent cosmetic results shock parents and colleagues and give me pride in my restorative cases.”

isfaction with NuSmile ZR Anterior Crowns, 10 evaluators rated them as excellent or very good. A dentist from Poland, OH, said, “They are simply beautiful natural crowns.”
