Claim:
1. A method for modeling and manufacturing a denture for a patient, where the denture comprises a gingival part and artificial teeth, wherein the method comprises: virtually modeling at least part of the denture using a 3D scan comprising at least part of the patient's oral cavity; obtaining virtual teeth to represent the artificial teeth; virtually modeling at least one of the virtual teeth to obtain a set of modeled virtual teeth; overlaying and/or morphing a scan made of a try-in of the denture before testing in the patient's mouth with a scan made of the try-in after testing the try-in in the patient's mouth and adjusting the try-in based on the testing; automatically detecting chanties between the scan made before testing with the scan made after testing; modifying the denture based on the detected changes; manufacturing the modeled virtual teeth in a first material; manufacturing the gingival part in a second material; and manufacturing at least part of the denture by means of computer aided manufacturing (CAM).
