| abstract |
A process for producing a ceramic body ( 100 ), in particular a dental ceramic blank, having selectively adjustable degrees of expression of one or more different physical properties, wherein the ceramic body ( 100 ) has a porosity to enable the control of a selective distribution of one or more chemical substances ( 101, 102 ) that are suitable for influencing the physical properties of the ceramic body ( 100 ), and in a first step, which is a loading step, the ceramic body is loaded with one or more solutions ( 104 ) of the one or more chemical substances ( 101, 102 ). In a second step, which is a distribution step, the distribution of the one or more chemical substances ( 101, 102 ) within the porous ceramic body ( 100 ) is controlled, wherein a progression and/or a spatial progression of the degree of expression of the one or more physical properties can be produced. The control is effected by adjusting one or more ambient parameters ( 106 ) in an environment ( 108 ), in particular by adjusting the air humidity and/or the pressure and/or the temperature. |
