A method of manufacturing a layered denture in which the enamel layer or the tooth layer is manufactured first and the denture base is manufactured last. The resulting denture may exhibit an enamel layer or a tooth layer with enhanced strength and/or resiliency. The resulting denture may have one or more of an integrated layer, balanced occlusion, and a root approximating structure.

A method of making a dental restoration has the steps of capturing an image of a tooth, posterizing the image, determining a tooth color structure, providing information about a multicolored block having a block color structure, matching the tooth color structure and the block color structure, based on the matching, determining a position within the block in which the tooth color structure and the block color structure match, and machining the dental restoration from the block at the determined position. The invention helps facilitating the making of dental restorations at maximized aesthetics.

Dental articles and methods of using same. The dental article (510) includes a shell defining a volume, the shell (512) comprising a circumferential base (514) and an incisal/occlusal region (516) distal from the circumferential base. The dental article (510) further includes a hardenable dental composition (518) located within the volume, and an isolation film (520) located at the circumferential base of the shell.

Dental component (1) for the individual prosthetic reconstruction of a tooth, intended to be received on a dental implant, comprising: a first element (3) with an angled through-passage (4), a second element (7) intended to be received against or in a dental implant (2),

Means of assembly (9, 13a-13c) between the first (3) and second (7) elements make it possible effectively to limit the removal of material to be performed in the first element (3) in order to create the angled through-passage (4).
