Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a dental restoration part using a machine tool (10), especially a dental processing machine intended for a dentist's office, wherein, in a first step, a rotating processing tool (16) rotationally mills or processes or grinds a workpiece (18) while, except from at least one entry and/or exit path, it is in continuous contact with the workpiece (18), i.e. with 0% air battle, by machining the outer profile (19) of the workpiece (18) substantially completely in helical-shape. The invention also relates to a dental processing machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a machining device for the machine-assisted production and machining of dental workpieces (16), particularly of artificial teeth and/or other dental replacement parts, the at least one workpiece (16) being clamped in at least one workpiece retainer (11) which can be raised, lowered and rotatably driven, is positioned on a rotational axis (9), and, for the purpose of machining, feeds said workpiece (16) to at least one tool spindle (4, 5, 6) that is rotationally driven and has a tool (7) secured thereto, an additional tool retainer (2, 2a, 2b) with a plurality of tools (7) arranged thereupon being associated with said workpiece retainer (11, 11a, 11b) and lying opposite on one side thereof, and a workpiece changer (22, 22a, 22b) which receives the workpieces (16, 16a, 16b, 16c) to be machined, such that they can be exchanged, being arranged on the other side of said workpiece retainer (11, 11a, 11b).
