Abstract: A blank for producing dental prostheses by particularly material-removing processing comprises a tooth element and a jaw element. These elements are preferably differently colored layers of a blank produced from the same material. In order to cover a dividing line between the differently colored regions, a gum element is arranged especially in a recess of the finished dental prosthesis.

Abstract: To produce a dental prosthetic body for an upper or lower jaw prosthesis, a prosthetic preform is provided, the prosthetic preform having approximately the same shape as the prosthetic body. As a result, a high quality prosthetic body can be produced and customized, for example, by milling the prosthetic prebody.

Abstract: A method for preparing a partial or full dental prosthesis comprising 1.1. acquiring a patient's oral situation by taking an impression or by digital recording; 1.2. if required, digitizing the patient's oral situation; 1.3. selecting the teeth forming the dental prosthesis from a library of teeth or groups of teeth to obtain a virtual set-up of the teeth, which is positioned virtually in a space that takes the acquired patient's situation into account; 1.3.1 said library contains designs of dental arches, tooth shapes, tooth sizes 1.3.2 said library contains designs of the gingiva, and 1.3.3 said library contains total set-ups and/or modular set-ups for all of Angle's bite classes; 1.4. if required, modifying the set-up obtained from the library; 1.5. virtually embedding the teeth arranged in the virtual set-up in a virtual gingiva; 1.6 producing the real prosthesis.

Abstract: A method for defining a dental arrangement for the production of partial or full tooth prosthetics, comprising the steps: determining base points defined by coordinates of a lower jaw and/or an upper jaw; determining a transverse dimension and/or a skeletal class and/or type of bite on the basis of the coordinates determined for the lower jaw and/or the upper jaw, and selecting a suitable dental arrangement on the basis of the transverse dimension determined and/or the skeletal class determined and/or the type of bite determined

Abstract: Artificial teeth are inserted into a denture base for producing a denture. The artificial teeth have an outer part, which is visible in the inserted state. An inner part is arranged within the denture base in the inserted state. A tooth edge with a change of angle is embodied between the outer part and the inner part. For producing a denture base, cavities are generated in the denture base. In order to be able to produce the cavities with the aid of automated production methods such as CAD/CAM methods, there is a virtual subtraction of the artificial teeth from a virtual denture base. As a result of this, a cavity edge which corresponds to the tooth edge is generated. The cavity edge is used during the production of the cavity by a CAD/CAM method for setting the tool movement.
