An induction furnace for carrying out a heat treatment of a dental replacement part. The induction furnace includes an induction coil, a radiant heater, an insulation layer and a furnace chamber. The induction furnace has a cooling system with a liquid cooling system in order to control an internal temperature of the furnace chamber.

Induction furnace and method for dental replacement part heat treatment

The invention relates to a method and to a corresponding system for providing a dental prosthesis made from ceramic material having a colour matched to the patient comprising the following steps: (i) receiving a desired nominal colour for the dental prosthesis, determining a deviation between the nominal colour and actual colour of the sintered ceramic material by the control unit and defining a temperature time cycle having a cycle time suitable for compensation of the deviation, for sintering at a defined sintering temperature and creating a corresponding sintering program by the control unit; and (ii) adjusting the actual colour of the selected ceramic material to the nominal colour in the sintering furnace by the sintering program executed by the sintering furnace.

Colour matching for dental restorations

The invention relates to a blank for producing a tooth replacement part using a CAD/CAM device, comprising a block of a sintered material. Said block of sintered material has already been presintered in a sintering furnace at an initial sintering temperature between 1000&#xb0; C. and 1250&#xb0; C.
