Abstract
The invention relates to a method for modelling a patient-individualised denture part (). The method comprises providing a digital three-dimensional patient situation model (), a digital three-dimensional denture part model (), and one or more geometric adaptation criteria defined using patient-specific delimiting surfaces. A denture part geometry of the denture part model is adapted in a patient-individualised manner to a patient situation geometry of the patient situation model. The patient-individualised adaptation process also comprises repeatedly interactively making user-defined changes to the denture part model, wherein the denture part model dynamically passes through a sequence of intermediate states during the course of each of the user-defined changes until a change state resulting from each user-defined change is reached. The dynamic passing through of the relevant sequence of intermediate states until the corresponding change state has been reached is displayed on a display device () by means of a graphical user surface ().
