Disclosed are ceramic compositions which have been improved through the addition of a light-curing resin. Porcelain compositions are formulated to include a light-curing resin, generally of the acrylic monomer type, molded into a desired shape, and subjected to an appropriate light source to preset the molded object, for example, a porcelain inlay or margin. The present ceramic object having a thus improved integrity is transported or further manipulated, and then fired in a conventional porcelain firing oven. Ceramic compositions made in accordance with the present invention may be employed in all types of dental restoration procedures, including the fabrication of margins, inlays, crowns, laminates, as well as various non-dental applications. |
