[An alternative moulding technique in porcelain fabrication].

Abstract

In this article a moulding technique for porcelain work that can be used especially in full-mouth and multiple unit restorations, is presented. Through this technique, condensation of porcelain can be achieved properly and the firing shrinkage can be hold in a minimum level. The occlusal form can be controlled in the mouth by a provisional acrilic bridge. A multiple pieced acrilic mould is prepared from the impression taken on the provisional acrilic bridge and is used for building up the full-mouth restoration. It is concluded that this technique can be an alternative which enables us to achieve accurate occlusal form and well condensed porcelain structure.
