  • Patent number: 5346397
    Abstract: A process for making artificial porcelain teeth or laboratory fabricated dental crowns includes casting or molding a plurality of tooth-shaped unfired shells from ceramic powder and a resin, acrylic, wax or starch in liquid form and molded and hardened into shapes of predetermined tooth contours. These dried powder like, thin and highly characterized outside shells of a general tooth shape are then merged into a full porcelain powder buildup of the tooth shape by using conventional porcelain powders mixed into a paste, conventionally, as a filling medium completing the buildup of tooth or crown form. This form is then placed into a furnace and heated to purge undesired resin, acrylic, wax or starch and other extraneous material, and then it is baked conventionally to further purge same and obtain an artificial tooth or crown in the most desirable form possible for the technician who then finalizes the contour by grinding and polishing or glazing same conventionally.
