Hello everyone, this is Krishna from india I don't know how many of you can relate with my journey as a dental technician( I guess I can't even call myself a dental technician ).If you have ever visited a dental lab in India I mean not only the office also the working area you might get what iam trying to say. I don't know where to start, I'll make it short. In 2018 I have joined this field after discounting my bachelor's in electrical engineering from then on till last year I was working in the same lab, I know nothing more than this that I'm just making prosthetic teeth with different materials like acrylic, porcelain, and zirconia that's it.
Furnace is preset to its programs what we do is make a metal or zirconia substructure( even here we don't know how an ideal framework should be) and run the programs in a series by applying opaque then dentine and enamel nothing more no knowledge of shade too bring a tooth like appearance glaze it and deliver it.......
I have no knowledge of what's going in the furnace how materials act at different stages.
BUT being a science student i was curious all the time what actually are these materials what are their properties what we need to consider when using together are individually,
So I quit that lab and met someone who used to be a faculty at a dental college and owns a lab. Then I got to know I have to start with morphology and then materials. Can anyone help me with books or website reference where can I get to learn this from scratch to advanced. What exactly you need to know to do an ideal crown or bridge. How to replicate the exact shade and stains. PLEASE HELP ME.....
