Abstract: In the process for producing dental prostheses such as bridges, crowns implants, etc. from ceramic material, production is carried out at least by way of one CAD/CAM machining station. The ceramic material to be worked consists of an unsintered disk-shaped blank or one which has not been subjected to final sintering, working of the blank into dental prostheses being undertaken at a right angle or quasi-right angle to the parallel or quasi-parallel surfaces of the blank.

Abstract: A method for producing a dental prosthesis to be fitted to a fitting member including the steps of: determining the three-dimensional contours of the fitting member; producing a three-dimensional form of the dental prosthesis; producing a working stump and/or a working pack; placing the working stump in the form and/or packing the working pack around the outside of the form to completely cover the form; sintering the form with the working stump and/or the working pack; and separating the working stump and/or the working pack from the dental prosthesis after sintering. The working stump and working pack are produced such that they are enlarged by a predetermined enlargement factor.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an artificial tooth replacement for at least one tooth includes the step of prefabricating a ceramic reinforcement member. Connecting elements are formed at the reinforcement member for fastening the artificial tooth replacement to at least one tooth stump of a patient. The ceramic reinforcement member is covered with a ceramic cover material for completing the artificial tooth replacement.
