The invention relates to a method for processing prosthetic teeth for the production of a full denture or at least a partial denture with at least two prosthetic teeth with the following steps: at least two prefabricated prosthetic teeth are inserted with their coronal sides into recesses an elastic mold, a clamping device is attached to the elastic mold, and after insertion of the prosthetic teeth into the elastic mold a mechanical pressure is applied to the elastic mold with the clamping device, wherein the pressure exerts a force onto the prosthetic teeth inserted into the elastic mold via the elastic mold and thus the prosthetic teeth are affixed in the elastic mold, the prosthetic teeth are positioned and aligned in the elastic mold in such a manner in relation to each other that at the latest following application of the clamping device on the elastic mold, the prosthetic teeth comprise the desired position and desired alignment in relation to each other, the elastic mold is affixed with the clamping device and prosthetic teeth in a defined position in a holder of a CAM device for removing material of the prosthetic teeth with a CAM method, and at least one of the prosthetic teeth affixed in the elastic mold is basally ablated with a CAM method.

The invention further relates to a device for holding prosthetic teeth for the implementation of such a method and a set for the implementation of such a method with such a device.

A machinable preform for shaping into dental restorations is described that comprises material having suitable strength for use in dental applications without requiring further processing after shaping to strengthen the material (such as sintering). In one embodiment, a preform is comprised of a machinable dental material having a Vickers hardness value in the range of 4HV GPa to 20HV GPa, and comprises a body and a stem that extends from the outer surface of the body that supports the body during shaping. A method for making the machinable preform, and a kit comprising a machinable preform and a grinding tool, are also described.

A method for manufacturing/producing a dental restoration for a patient, where the method includes: obtaining a 3D scan of at least a restoration site of the patient's mouth, where the manufactured dental restoration is adapted for fitting to the restoration site; obtaining a computer-aided design (CAD design) of the dental restoration; milling the restoration from a material, where the restoration is milled both on an inside surface configured for fitting to the shape of the restoration site of the patient's mouth and on an outside surface, where the milling is according to the obtained CAD design; transferring the milled restoration to a retention means providing a fixed known position of the restoration relative to a post-processing machinery, where the restoration is retained on the inside surface, such that the outside surface of the restoration is approachable/free/accessible; and performing post-processing of the outside surface of the restoration.
