Apparatus and method for preparing dental prosthetics

An apparatus for preparing dental prosthetics comprising:

• a base operable to receive a container therein, said container comprising:
• a container body having an interior and a top edge;
• a penetrable lid sealably secured to said top edge of said container body;
• a quantity of glazing liquid mixture within said container body;
• said quantity of glazing liquid less than a volume of said container body;
• a quantity of gas within said container body, said quantity of gas extending between a top surface of said glazing liquid mixture and said lid, and wherein said gas has a density greater than air;
• a lid penetrator operable to form at least one penetration through said lid of said container at at least one dipping location;
• an arm adapted to hold at least one dental prosthetic and pass each of said at least one dental prosthetic through said at least one penetration into and thereafter out of said glazing liquid mixture;
• and
• wherein said arm is adapted to move said at least one dental prosthetic in a predetermined drying path after dipping in said glazing liquid mixture so as to form a consistent glazing layer thereover.

A method for preparing dental prosthetics comprising:

• providing a container body having an interior and a top edge, said container body having a penetrable lid sealably secured to said top edge of said container body and containing a quantity of glazing liquid mixture liquid within said container body less than a volume of said container body and a quantity of gas within said container body, said quantity of gas extending between a top surface of said glazing liquid mixture and said lid, wherein said gas has a density greater than air;
• forming at least one penetration through said lid at at least one dipping location;
• passing at least one dental prosthetic through said at least one penetration into said glazing liquid mixture;
• removing said at least one dental prosthetic from said glazing liquid mixture;
• and
• moving said at least one dental prosthetic in a predetermined drying path after dipping in said glazing liquid mixture so as to form a consistent glazing layer thereover.
