Abstract
A dental porcelain material free of yellow coloring or opacification upon firing is produced. A powder mixture is prepared by adding 0.1 to 2.0 wt % of antimony trioxide and 0.01 to 5 wt % of nitric acid or its salt or salt, to a porcelain starting material. The powder mixture is heat-treated at a temperature not lower than the softening temperature of the powder mixture to produce a fused mass which is pulverized and water-washed. 0.01 to 5 wt % of nitric acid or its salt or salts may be added again during the pulverizing step.
