Artificial tooth and method for producing a denture base

摘要

Artificial teeth are inserted into a denture base for producing a denture. The artificial teeth used according to the invention have an outer part (12), which is visible in the inserted state. An inner part (14) is arranged within the denture base (20) in the inserted state. According to the invention, a tooth edge (10) with a change of angle is embodied between the outer part (12) and the inner part (14). For producing a denture base, cavities (22) are generated in the denture base. In order to be able to produce the cavities (22) 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 (20). As a result of this, a cavity edge (24) which corresponds to the tooth edge (10) is generated. The cavity edge (24) is used during the production of the cavity (22) by a CAD/CAM method for setting the tool movement.
