Abstract
A dental system includes a reusable dental block holding assembly and a ceramic block. The reusable holding assembly and the ceramic block are configured to be selectively connectable to one another. The selective connecting mechanism may include a protrusion in the ceramic block and a matching slot in the reusable holding assembly for receiving the protrusion of the ceramic block inside. A selective locking mechanism including a fastener and a plate may be used to selectively secure the protrusion of the ceramic block inside of the slot of the reusable dental block holding assembly. This configuration ensures that the ceramic block will not move relative to the holding assembly during a milling process that mills the ceramic block to form a dental crown.
