Abstract

A one-piece or multi-piece prosthesis blank for manufacturing a dental prosthesis. The blank is constructed from a gum-colored material and a tooth-colored material. It is characterized by being connected to each other at connecting surfaces, having an interface between the gum-colored and tooth-colored materials. This interface, when viewed along the connecting surfaces has an undulating shape and viewed in the vestibular direction has a radial shape. In order to finish the dental prosthesis, a CAD/CAM device determines the exact course of a gingival line, based on patient-specific data, and produces the prosthesis.
