The invention relates to a tooth replacement including at least one posterior tooth having a mesial contact surface, a distal contact surface, and an occlusal surface. The occlusal surfaces includes at least one buccal cusp having a buccal cusp tip, a lingual cusp having a lingual cusp tip, a central fissure which has at least one tooth pit and passes through the occlusal surface in the mesiodistal direction between the two cusps, a first gradient which slopes downward from the buccal cusp tip in the direction of the central fissure, and a second gradient which slopes downward from the lingual cusp tip in the direction of the central fissure. The tooth replacement according to the invention is characterized in that the mesial contact surface, the distal contact surface and/or the occlusal contact surface comprise expansion spaces that have been incorporated in a targeted manner to obtain a dynamic occlusal guidance.
A tooth replacement comprising at least one posterior tooth having a mesial contact surface, a distal contact surface, and an occlusal surface, wherein the occlusal surface comprises a least one buccal cusp having a buccal cusp tip, a lingual cusp having a lingual cusp tip, a central fissure which has at least one tooth pit and passes through the occlusal surface in a mesiodistal direction between the two cusps, a first gradient which slopes downward from the buccal cusp tip in a direction of the central fissure, and a second gradient which slopes downward from the lingual cusp tip in the direction of the central fissure, wherein the occlusal contact surface comprise expansion spaces to obtain a dynamic occlusal guidance, wherein an antagonist of the posterior tooth having a further occlusal surface having at least one further cusp, which engages in an occlusion position with the tooth pit of the occlusal surface of the posterior tooth, wherein a length of a retrusion path starting from the occlusion position is at least 0.6 mm, the distal or the mesial contact surface is curved in a calotte-like or spherical manner, thus having a convex edge both in a sagittal plane and in a transverse plane and with an adjacent tooth of the posterior tooth having a further mesial or distal contact surface abutting the distal or mesial contact surface of the posterior tooth, wherein the further mesial or distal contact surface of the adjacent tooth is curved concavely spherically for producing a form-fit contact with a convexly curved distal or mesial contact surface of the posterior tooth, thus having a concave edge both in a sagittal plane and in a transverse plane.
