The method also includes machining the dental shaped part from the blank using the tool of the machining equipment, when the outer contour of the tool corresponds to the at least one gauge provided on the blank.
Claims14
A method for producing a dental shaped part, the method comprising:
- checking an outer contour of at least one tool of machining equipment, using at least one gauge provided on a blank formed from a tooth restoration material from which a dental shaped part is to be machined using the machining equipment, wherein the gauge is a recess, and wherein the checking includes:
- engaging at least part of the tool with the recess at a penetration depth in the recess, the penetration depth determining at least one of a condition of the tool and an ideal outer contour indicating a type of the tool, and
- removing the at least part of the tool from the recess;
- and
- machining the dental shaped part from the blank by using the tool of the machining equipment, checked in the checking, to remove material from the blank, when the outer contour of the tool corresponds to the at least one gauge provided on the blank.
