Dental prosthesis having a structure similar to that of natural teeth and a method for manufacturing the same. Provided is a dental prosthesis capable of expressing a structure and properties similar to natural teeth in which enamel is a surface layer and dentine is an inner layer underneath the enamel. In addition, a method of manufacturing the same dental prosthesis through three-dimensional printing is provided. The dental prosthesis is a cured product including ceramic particles dispersed in a polymer matrix. The cured product includes a first cured product layer including 70% to 90% by weight of ceramic particles having an average particle diameter of 100 to 1,000 nm and a second cured product layer including 40% to 60% by weight of ceramic particles having an average particle diameter of 10 μm to 500 μm, the second cured product layer being adjacent to the inner surface of the first cured product layer.

A method of manufacturing an article comprising: (a) performing an additive manufacturing process to firm an article in an initial state, the article comprising mounting features and being supported during the additive manufacturing process by support structures; and (b) performing a second manufacturing process to transform the article into a second state, which second manufacturing process is a subtractive process comprising: (i) mounting, via the mounting features formed during the additive manufacturing process, the article in a holding device of a machine for operating on the article, with the support structures or at least remnants thereof remaining on the article, and (ii) with the article so mounted in the holding device, processing at least one feature on a surface of the article on which the support structures were provided to remove material on the at least one feature provided by the support structures.

The invention relates to a single- or multi-unit dental restoration, which consists of a support structure and a veneer, which support structure is in particular made from oxide ceramics by means of additive manufacturing, particularly preferably by means of rapid prototyping, wherein the veneer is produced by pressing a ceramic material, such as a glass ceramic or composite material, which is more translucent than the support structure, characterized in that the veneer fills and/or penetrates recesses of the support structure (12) configured as a net or frame structure or as a reinforcement, wherein it is particularly provided that the recesses penetrate through the support structure (12).
