  • Creating a translucent effect within one half of a green body zirconia blank
    Patent number: 10327875
    Abstract: A dental block for producing a dental prosthesis comprises a green body including zirconia and having a chemical composition including increasing amounts of a chroma component, such as manganese, through a thickness of the green body. The green body is substantially white with a substantially consistent optical characteristic of chroma across the thickness, and is subsequently millable and sinterable to form the dental prosthesis with an optical characteristic of decreasing gray color through a thickness of the dental prosthesis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 25, 2019
