Abstract
This invention relates to a process for controlling a dental firing furnace in which a temperature in a firing chamber of the dental furnace is detected by means of a temperature sensor, and in which a heating element that is controlled by a control device controls the heating of the firing chamber of the dental firing furnace based on the measurement result of the temperature sensor. In this process a dental restoration part is received within the firing chamber of the dental furnace. The heating is controlled so that the dental restoration part reacts exothermically, emitting additional heat. The additional heat is detected by the temperature sensor which is pointed at the dental restoration part and the control device delivers at least one signal representing the additional heat, such as in the form of a display signal and/or control signal.
