How we repair the fraction in the porcelain bridge?

If the doctor sends bridge with fraction porcelain I mean here small fraction and we don’t know the type of the porcelain that used in the build up that bridge. How we fixed that fraction?

If you do not know what porcelain is the only thing you can do is run a glaze cycle.

yep, you can run it up and set your cool time around 4 mins. To be honest though, I wouldn't do it without calling the doctor letting him know that the bridge will most likely blow up (porcelain bubbles). Most times a porcelain bridge will be contaminated with saliva when it's been in a patients mouth for any duration. So what I usually do, is put it in the oven on 300 degrees Celsius all night. Then run it up on a glaze cycle on low fusing cycle, then work my way up. Like I said before though, it usually bubbles up and then you have to make a new one. You could always make a porcelain facing/veneer to go over the fractured part.
