Patent ID: 10258430

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the virtual post-processing of a first virtual three-dimensional dental model (14) of a dental prosthesis (28), said model having been created during the planning of the prosthesis (28). The first virtual dental model (14) is processed virtually after the planning stage in an additional method step (18, 31) by adapting at least one three-dimensional aesthetic surface structure (17) already in existence to the first dental model (14) by means of a virtual tool (10) with the aid of a computer (4) and a display device (6) and by subsequently inserting said structure into the first dental model (14). The aesthetic surface structure (17) has a predetermined form, size and/or a predetermined impression depth (41), and a tooth surface (19) of the dental model (14) is at least partially replaced by the adapted aesthetic surface structure (15, 17).
