A 3d-printed dental restoration precursor comprising at least one crown unit having an outer surface and an inner surface, and only one support element having a fixation section (2.1), the shape of the crown unit being described as follows: for posterior teeth having an occlusal top surface (1.1) and depending side surfaces, for anterior teeth having an incisal top edge and depending side surfaces, the side surfaces being connected to each other and forming a crown cervix (1.2) with a crown margin (1.3) surrounding a crown opening (1.4), the occlusal top surface (1.1) or incisal top edge defining a plane x, which is perpendicular to an orientation y which extends vertically from the crown opening to the occlusal surface or incisal top edge of the crown unit, characterized in that the support element has an orientation z directed through the fixation section (2.1) toward the crown unit, the support element is connected through the fixation section (2.1) to the outer surface of the crown unit only either in the region adjacent to the occlusal top surface (1.1) or incisal top edge at an angle being in a range of 20 to 80° formed by the orientation z of the support element and plane x, or in the region of the crown margin (1.3) at an angle being in a range of 20 to 80° formed by the orientation z of the support element and plane x. at least one crown unit having an outer surface and an inner surface, and only one support element having a fixation section (2.1), the shape of the crown unit being described as follows: for posterior teeth having an occlusal top surface (1.1) and depending side surfaces, for anterior teeth having an incisal top edge and depending side surfaces, the side surfaces being connected to each other and forming a crown cervix (1.2) with a crown margin (1.3) surrounding a crown opening (1.4), the occlusal top surface (1.1) or incisal top edge defining a plane x, which is perpendicular to an orientation y which extends vertically from the crown opening to the occlusal surface or incisal top edge of the crown unit, characterized in that the support element has an orientation z directed through the fixation section (2.1) toward the crown unit, the support element is connected through the fixation section (2.1) to the outer surface of the crown unit only either in the region adjacent to the occlusal top surface (1.1) or incisal top edge at an angle being in a range of 20 to 80° formed by the orientation z of the support element and plane x, or in the region of the crown margin (1.3) at an angle being in a range of 20 to 80° formed by the orientation z of the support element and plane x. the shape of the crown unit being described as follows: for posterior teeth having an occlusal top surface (1.1) and depending side surfaces, for anterior teeth having an incisal top edge and depending side surfaces, the side surfaces being connected to each other and forming a crown cervix (1.2) with a crown margin (1.3) surrounding a crown opening (1.4), the occlusal top surface (1.1) or incisal top edge defining a plane x, which is perpendicular to an orientation y which extends vertically from the crown opening to the occlusal surface or incisal top edge of the crown unit, for posterior teeth having an occlusal top surface (1.1) and depending side surfaces, for anterior teeth having an incisal top edge and depending side surfaces, the side surfaces being connected to each other and forming a crown cervix (1.2) with a crown margin (1.3) surrounding a crown opening (1.4), the occlusal top surface (1.1) or incisal top edge defining a plane x, which is perpendicular to an orientation y which extends vertically from the crown opening to the occlusal surface or incisal top edge of the crown unit, characterized in that the support element has an orientation z directed through the fixation section (2.1) toward the crown unit, the support element is connected through the fixation section (2.1) to the outer surface of the crown unit only either in the region adjacent to the occlusal top surface (1.1) or incisal top edge at an angle being in a range of 20 to 80° formed by the orientation z of the support element and plane x, or in the region of the crown margin (1.3) at an angle being in a range of 20 to 80° formed by the orientation z of the support element and plane x. has an orientation z directed through the fixation section (2.1) toward the crown unit, the support element is connected through the fixation section (2.1) to the outer surface of the crown unit only either in the region adjacent to the occlusal top surface (1.1) or incisal top edge at an angle being in a range of 20 to 80° formed by the orientation z of the support element and plane x, or in the region of the crown margin (1.3) at an angle being in a range of 20 to 80° formed by the orientation z of the support element and plane x.
