Claim One:
1. A method, carried out digitally in part, for positioning artificial posterior teeth on an entirely edentulous or at least partially edentulous jaw model of a lower jaw, comprising: combining several artificial posterior teeth at least adapted for the lower jaw to form at least one tooth block, arranging the artificial posterior teeth in said tooth block in a fixed geometric relationship to one another, establishing geometric parameters of the tooth block on the tooth block, establishing geometric parameters of the jaw model on the jaw model, and, in order to position the tooth block on the jaw model, assigning the geometric parameters of the tooth block to the geometric parameters of the jaw model, wherein one of the geometric parameters of the tooth block is a tooth block occlusion plane common to the artificial posterior teeth of the tooth block, and one of the geometric parameters of the jaw model is a jaw model occlusion plane assigned to the jaw model, and, to position said tooth block on the jaw model, the method further comprises placing the tooth block occlusion plane in the jaw model occlusion plane, one of the geometric parameters of the tooth block is a main fissure line common to the artificial posterior teeth of the tooth block, and one of the geometric parameter of the jaw model is a base static line assigned to the jaw model, and, to position the tooth block on the jaw model, the method further comprises arranging the main fissure line and the base static line in a common base static plane, the base static plane is arranged orthogonally on the jaw model occlusion plane, and the assignment of the geometric parameters of the tooth block to the geometric parameters of the jaw model is carried out digitally, the method further comprising producing a prosthesis based on a digital model of the jaw model generated digitally along with the positioned posterior teeth.
