Abstract
A method of coloring pre-sintered dental restoration, comprises: securing a pre-sintered dental restoration; applying a preceding liquid on the dental restoration; dipping the dental restoration, with the preceding liquid thereon, into a subsequent liquid for coloring; and sintering the dental restoration to acquire a fully sintered dental restoration. The subsequent liquid is different from the preceding liquid. The preceding liquid at least partly blocks or interferes with an infiltration of the subsequent liquid into an area where the preceding liquid was applied. The fully sintered dental restoration has less color/chroma in the area where the preceding liquid was applied.
Claims9
A method of coloring a pre-sintered dental restoration, the method comprising, in sequence, the steps of:
- a) securing a pre-sintered dental restoration;
- and then
- b) applying a preceding liquid on an incisal or occlusal area of the dental restoration;
- and then
- c) dipping the dental restoration, with the preceding liquid in the incisal or occlusal area, into a subsequent liquid for coloring, the subsequent liquid being different from the preceding liquid, and with the preceding liquid at least partly blocking or interfering with an infiltration of the subsequent liquid into the incisal or occlusal area with the preceding liquid;
- and then
- d) sintering the dental restoration to acquire a fully sintered dental restoration with less color/chroma in the incisal or occlusal area, and more color/chroma in a body or cervical area, of the fully sintered dental restoration.
A method of coloring a pre-sintered dental restoration, the method comprising, in sequence, the steps of:
- a) securing a pre-sintered dental restoration;
- and then
- b) applying a dental liquid on an incisal or occlusal area of the dental restoration;
- and then
- c) sintering the dental restoration to acquire a fully sintered dental restoration having a translucency and color intensity/chroma with an inverse relationship with the translucency increasing in one direction of the dental restoration and the color intensity/chroma decreasing in the same direction of the dental restoration.
A method of coloring pre-sintered dental restoration, the method comprising, in sequence, the steps of:
- a) securing a pre-sintered dental restoration;
- and then
- b) applying a preceding liquid on the dental restoration;
- and then
- c) dipping the dental restoration, with the preceding liquid therein, into a subsequent liquid for coloring, the subsequent liquid being different from the preceding liquid, the preceding liquid at least partly blocking or interfering with an infiltration of the subsequent liquid into an area where the preceding liquid was applied;
- and then
- d) sintering the dental restoration to acquire a fully sintered dental restoration with less color/chroma in the area where the preceding liquid was applied.
