Abstract
The invention relates to a computer program for specifying a material color of a dental restoration for which the desired tooth color is entered as a target tooth color () by the user, said target tooth color being the tooth color of a neighboring tooth, wherein upon specification of the material color of the dental restoration starting from the target tooth color () the material color of the dental restoration material is changed based on parameters such as the color of a stump and/or an abutment, the layer thickness of the dental restoration, the type of the dental restoration as well as the processing technique, wherein the specification of the material color of the dental restoration is controlled by the computer program, and wherein, once a parameter is selected, the next parameter is offered automatically, wherein the selection is limited based on parameters which are dependent on one another, such as the layer thickness, the restoration type, that is to say the indication, and the material.
