Abstract
The invention relates to a temporary dental prosthesis for determining abrasion facets, having at least one prosthetic tooth, in which at least the occlusion surface of the prosthetic tooth or at least one of the prosthetic teeth is made of a material that is abradable such that, within a maximum of 12 weeks of use as a dental prosthesis by a patient, abrasion facets are produced on the prosthetic teeth and are suitable for ascertaining the chewing movements of the jaw of the patient. The invention also relates to a method for determining the chewing movement of a set of teeth from measured abrasion facets, in which a temporary dental prosthesis made of an abradable material is inserted in a patient, and to a method for producing a final dental prosthesis.
