This video shows the ceramic 'build-up' stage of the production of a ceramic crown to restore a damaged tooth. In this video, ceramic powders are applied by brush to the substructure (see Videos 7 and 8). The ceramic powders are fired to sinter them into a hard structure, and then refired and adjusted until the desired shape is achieved.
