Abstract: The invention relates to a method of modelling a denture supply, such as a bridge construction, a crown, a cap, a set of artificial teeth or the like, said method comprising the following steps: creating or loading a first data record recording the shape of an initial situation before any treatment, such as the extraction or grinding of one or of a plurality of teeth, and creating or loading a second data record recording the shape of a post-treatment situation, and using the first and second data records for modelling the denture supply. The invention also relates to associated computer-readable data carriers and a computer.

Abstract: A material for dentures having a 3-point bending strength of at least 1300 MPa, dentures produced from said type of material, corresponding blank materials, a method for producing blanks, and a method for producing a denture part made from said material or a blank.

Abstract: Method according to which an individual implant (19) is modelled taking into account the individual shape of a tooth (2) and/or a hole (6) in a jaw-bone (3).

Abstract: The invention refers to a method of detecting implants in a jaw or an implant impression in a jaw impression, comprising the following steps: Inserting a gauging member into the implant or into the implant impression, scanning the jaw or the impression thereof together with the gauging member, detecting the position and orientation of the implant in the jaw or the jaw impression with the scan data obtained, wherein for detecting the position and orientation a set of data is used, which represents the individual shape of the gauging member. The invention further refers to a method of detecting the shape of a gauging member by scanning at least a portion that can be inserted into an implant or an implant impression, and of at least a second portion which can be scanned after insertion to determine the individual shape of the gauging member.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dental prosthesis identification means. The invention furthermore relates to a method and a device for manufacturing a dental prosthesis, whereby in this method and device, an identification means is formed or the formation of such an identification means is possible.

Abstract: The invention refers to a device for holding a model of a dental prosthesis part, such as an abutment, comprising a first portion in which the model of the dental prosthesis part can be modeled on and a second portion which allows a definite position identification of the holder, as well as a device for scanning objects, such as a jaw model and/or dental models and/or saw tooth model sections, comprising a holder in which an above-mentioned device with a definite position orientation can be held and scanned. The invention further refers to a method of generating a digital model of a dental prosthesis part, such as an abutment, comprising the steps of evaluating the scan data for detecting at least one part of the shape of the dental prosthesis part and evaluation of the scan data to detect at least the position of the holder, a data carrier with instructions to carry out such a method as well as a method of manufacturing a dental prosthesis part.
