Abstract:
1. A system for at least manufacturing dental prostheses comprising a first prosthesis part and a second prosthesis part, comprising: at least one dental clinic respectively adapted for at least initializing the creation of a 3D numerical model of at least a part of a patient's dentition requiring a prosthesis; a dental service center adapted for at least manufacturing said first prosthesis part based on said 3D numerical model; and at least one dental lab respectively separate from said service center and respectively adapted for at least manufacturing said second prosthesis part based on said 3D numerical model, wherein said at least one dental clinic and said at least one dental lab are respectively connected at least to said dental service center, via a suitable communication medium; wherein said service center and said at least one dental lab are adapted to share with one another at least the manufacture of said prosthesis based on said 3D numerical model; wherein said first prosthesis part is different from said second prosthesis part; wherein said first prosthesis part and said second prosthesis part are respectively manufactured according to predetermined criteria, said predetermined criteria including a dimensional accuracy for the manufacture of a part of said prosthesis; wherein said dimensional accuracy for the manufacture of said first prosthesis part is equal to or less than about 40 microns; and wherein said dimensional accuracy for said second prosthesis part is more than about 40 microns.
