Abstract
Abstract Essentially spherical gold particles are mixed with an evaporatable or combustible paste-forming material, for example terpineol and ethylcellulose, the gold being, by weight, 75% to 95%, spherical, and having a diameter of between 0.8 to 1.2 μm, with a maximum particle diameter of 2 μm. The gold is mixed with the additives to form a paste, just before being applied at a thickness of from between 5 to 30 μm on a dental prosthesis, preferably about 10 to 20 μm, and then fired at a temperature of between about 950° C. to 1070° C. for a period of between 2-5 minutes, preferably about 960° to 1000° C. of from between 2-3 minutes, providing an excellent base for application of a porcelain layer thereto.
