20080213725 | Method and Arrangement for a Dental Installation - A substrate has or is provided on a surface with a first porosity. A dispersion with low-viscosity liquid is applied to the surface in order to form a ceramic layer with a second porosity having preferably larger and/or more pores than in the first porosity. The liquid has the ability to be sucked by capillary force into the first pore formation and, in a first stage, to retain on the surface material and/or liquid particles which do not penetrate into this first pore formation, and which contribute to the continued construction of the layer. In a second stage, the substrate is subjected to sintering in which the particles finally forming the layer are held together with intermediate spaces which consist of or are included in the second porosity, the spaces being formed either by the fact that material and liquid particles separate from the particles finally forming the layer are driven off during the sintering and/or by the fact that the particles forming the layer are chosen with a particle size which means that the last-mentioned particles are held together after the sintering despite the intermediate spaces. The invention also relates to an arrangement. By means of the invention, a dental product can be provided with excellent porosity which is advantageous in connection with dental installations. | 09-04-2008 |
