Abstract
The invention relates to a dental firing or press furnace (10) that enables the production of at least one dental restoration part (62). The dental firing or press furnace is provided with a firing space (12) that is heatable with the aid of a heating device (22), preferably, a resistance heating device. A heat-conducting element (50) having a specific thermal conductivity of at least 100 W/mK is arranged on the floor of the firing space (12).
Claims24
A dental firing or press furnace for the production of at least one dental restoration part, comprising
- a firing space that is heatable with the aid of a heating device,
- a heat-conducting element having a specific thermal conductivity of at least 100 W/mK that is arranged on the floor of the firing space,
- wherein the floor of the firing space comprises a positive locking element onto which the heat conducting element is accommodated,
- wherein the heat-conducting element extends along the floor of the firing space while covering or nearly covering the floor of the firing space.
A dental firing or press furnace for the production of at least one dental restoration part comprising
- a firing space that is heatable with the aid of a heating device,
- a heat-conducting element having a specific thermal conductivity of at least 100 W/mK that is arranged on the floor of the firing space,
