  • Method for producing a dental restoration part and CAD/CAM device
    Patent number: 9662188
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a dental restoration part, in which method, geometrical data, in particular data with respect to spatial dimensions, position and/or volume of the restoration part, are determined and stored in order to form a virtual restoration part. In a further process step, the virtual restoration part is provided for the tooth (10) to be replaced by using data of the tooth (10) to be replaced, a neighboring tooth (60) and/or a tooth stump, and said data is stored as color data and is used for the computer-assisted production of the virtual restoration part.
