Computer-implemented method for defining different layer elements of an artificial tooth element comprising the steps of: determining a three-dimensional, outer contour of the artificial tooth element, defining an interface between an inner core element and an outer layer element which surrounds the inner core element at least in part, characterized by the further steps of selecting at least one additional layer element (60, 62, 64, 66) from a provided selection list containing a plurality of additional layer elements, which includes: accentuation of mamelons, wherein when selecting the additional layer element "accentuation of mamelons", the additional layer element "accentuation of mamelons" is automatically arranged at the core element in the region of a mamelon defined by the interface, wherein the additional layer element "accentuation of mamelons" is arranged at the core element in the region of the at least one, preferably all mamelons defined by the interface and an additional layer element "accentuation of mamelons" is arranged which at least partly surrounds the at least one, preferably all mamelons defined by the interface, and automatically arranging the at least one selected additional layer element (60, 62, 64, 66) in spatially defined relation to the core element. determining a three-dimensional, outer contour of the artificial tooth element, defining an interface between an inner core element and an outer layer element which surrounds the inner core element at least in part, characterized by the further steps of selecting at least one additional layer element (60, 62, 64, 66) from a provided selection list containing a plurality of additional layer elements, which includes: accentuation of mamelons, wherein when selecting the additional layer element "accentuation of mamelons", the additional layer element "accentuation of mamelons" is automatically arranged at the core element in the region of a mamelon defined by the interface, wherein the additional layer element "accentuation of mamelons" is arranged at the core element in the region of the at least one, preferably all mamelons defined by the interface and an additional layer element "accentuation of mamelons" is arranged which at least partly surrounds the at least one, preferably all mamelons defined by the interface, and automatically arranging the at least one selected additional layer element (60, 62, 64, 66) in spatially defined relation to the core element. accentuation of mamelons, wherein when selecting the additional layer element "accentuation of mamelons", the additional layer element "accentuation of mamelons" is automatically arranged at the core element in the region of a mamelon defined by the interface, wherein the additional layer element "accentuation of mamelons" is arranged at the core element in the region of the at least one, preferably all mamelons defined by the interface and an additional layer element "accentuation of mamelons" is arranged which at least partly surrounds the at least one, preferably all mamelons defined by the interface, and automatically arranging the at least one selected additional layer element (60, 62, 64, 66) in spatially defined relation to the core element.
