A dental furnace is a laboratory equipment used in the dental industry to process ceramic dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays. It is designed to fuse and glaze porcelains at high temperatures and pressures, resulting in a hardened and final state. There are several types of dental furnaces available, including ceramic combination furnaces, sintering furnaces, and glazing furnaces. When selecting a dental furnace, it is important to choose one that is capable of processing the materials used in your practice, easy to clean, and properly maintained.
