Dental laboratory foundry crucibles

Crucibles are ceramic or metal containers used in dentistry to hold and melt materials such as precious metals (for example, gold or silver) or dental ceramics. The laboratory crucible is an essential part of the dental prosthesis casting process, as it provides a controlled environment for heating and handling materials precisely.

These laboratory crucibles are designed to withstand high temperatures without deforming or cracking, which ensures the integrity of the materials during the casting process. They may also come in specific shapes and sizes depending on the type of dental work being carried out.

Crucibles are also used in the preparation of dental amalgams, which are metal mixtures used in dental restorations. In this case, crucibles help contain and mix the amalgam components before they are applied to the tooth.

At Dentaltix you will find a wide variety of crucibles made from carbon, graphite, chrome, cobalt or titanium.
