Method for manufacturing a dental prosthesis and shell mould configured to carry out the method

Method for manufacturing a dental prosthesis, said method comprising:

• digitally designing a dental prosthesis model to be made from a replica model of a patient's teeth;
• generating a jaw portion model including the teeth replica model and the model of the dental prosthesis assembled to said teeth replica model;
• digitally designing a positioning member model in the teeth replica model;
• manufacturing a jaw portion including a positioning member on the basis of the jaw portion model including a positioning member model;
• manufacturing a teeth replica including a positioning member on the basis of the teeth replica model including the positioning member model;
• positioning the jaw portion on a shell of a shell mold by interaction of the positioning member of the jaw portion with a complementary positioning member arranged in said shell;
• closing the shell mold;
• creating an imprint of the jaw portion by injection of a material into the shell mold;
• positioning at least one artificial tooth in the imprint of the jaw portion;
• positioning the teeth replica on the shell of the shell mold by interaction of the positioning member of the teeth replica with the complementary positioning member of the shell;
• positioning the teeth replica in the imprint in which the at least one artificial tooth is positioned;
• and
• casting a filling material in a residual volume defined by the imprint, the at least one artificial tooth and the teeth replica.
