Method for preparing a partial or full dental prosthesis

A method for preparing a partial or full dental prosthesis comprising:

• acquiring measurements of an oral cavity by a digital recording of the oral cavity using an imaging device;
• preparing, with a computer, a digital model of the dental prosthesis taking into account the acquired measurements,
• preparing, with the computer, a virtual gingiva based on the acquired measurements by selecting a matching gingiva design from a digital library containing designs of gingiva,
• preparing, with the computer, a virtual set-up of teeth based on the acquired measurements by selecting a matching set of teeth from the digital library, the digital library including designs of dental arches, tooth shapes, tooth sizes, and groups of teeth and said library contains total set-ups and/or modular set-ups for Angle's bite classes;
• if required, modifying the virtual set-up of teeth with the computer to obtain a fit with the acquired measurements;
• virtually embedding the teeth arranged in the virtual set-up in the virtual gingiva;
• and
• producing the real prosthesis to correspond to the set-up.
