Abstract:
A system and method for fabricating dental crowns and bridgework includes the steps of: selecting one or more prototype teeth; forming a mold around the prototype teeth using a soft flexible material; placing the mold within a model of a patient's teeth; pressing the uppers and lowers of the model together to establish the bite; removing the prototype teeth from the mold; adding wet porcelain to the inside walls of the mold and vibrating the mold to create the incisal; adding wet porcelain to create the body; pressing framework into the uncured body; vibrating the mold and removing moisture; allowing the porcelain to dry and removing the molded porcelain crown or bridgework from the mold; trimming off excess porcelain and adding porcelain to the margin area as needed; baking the crown or bridgework in an oven and removing when half cured; and carving and shaping the half cured porcelain.

Claim (Index 2):
The method as recited in  claim 1  wherein the step of selecting at least one prototype tooth further comprises the steps of:\n placing one or more prototype teeth in the prefabricated model of the patient's teeth in the location where the crown or bridgework is to be fitted; \n comparing the one or more prototype teeth to the adjacent and opposing teeth in the prefabricated model; and \n selecting the at least one prototype tooth that conforms with the size, shape and anatomy of the patient's adjacent and opposing teeth as replicated on the prefabricated model.
