Abstract
The chapter is focused on the processing of bulk advanced ceramics. A general overview of ceramic processes is presented with the focus on processes relevant to advanced ceramics in dentistry. The processing of ceramics is divided into four parts that describe the basic steps: powder treatment, shaping of ceramic green bodies, drying and binder removal, and sintering. The first part discusses the reasons for powder treatment. The causes of powder agglomeration are explained and possible dispersion techniques are given. The principles of the most important methods of dry, wet, and plastic shaping, and consolidation of green bodies are explained. The mechanisms of solvent drying and binder removal from consolidated green bodies are discussed and the potential problems of this processing step are highlighted. The densification of green bodies via sintering is explained and possible sintering techniques are described. Advantages and disadvantages of particular sintering methods are discussed.
