Abstract
A method for producing a dental prosthesis based on lithium silicate glass or lithium silicate glass-ceramic, including the steps of: melting a powder mixture containing at least SiO, LiO, AlO; producing spherical, lens-shaped or rod-shaped glass particles solidified from the melt; portioning the glass particles and filling them into a crucible; melting the glass particles in the crucible and setting a viscosity v, wherein 4 dPa·s≤v≤80 dPa·s; casting the thus produced melt into a negative mold which is enclosed by an embedding compound and corresponds to the dental prosthesis and; solidifying the melt in the negative mold, and crystallizing lithium metasilicate and/or lithium disilicate from the solidified melt.
