Abstract

The invention relates to a method for measuring a dental situation comprising a plurality of implants and/or preparations for inserting dental restorations. Using a first measuring method, a first region of the dental situation is initially recorded while first measurement data are generated. The first region is selected to comprise at least two implants and/or preparations. Subsequently, object regions surrounding the implants and/or the preparations are established, and, while using a second measuring method, the established object regions are detected, and second measurement data are generated. The second measuring method is more precise than the first measuring method.
