The invention relates to a method for producing high-geometric precision elements made from a neutral material. Using different types of prosthetic restoration, said elements are intended to fill the damage caused in teeth by dental caries or tissue alteration having other causes. The inventive elements are also intended to be used to produce high-precision
dental crowns or other related dental devices. The method is characterised in that: a model (10), which is designed to fill the missing dental tissue that has been destroyed, is made either
in vivo, updating and defining a new volume (2) that is bordered by
healthy tissue and having a tapered wall, or
in vitro, taking an impression in the mouth of a dental preparation using an impression compound, said impression then being cast in plaster, and updating and defining a new volume (2) using said positive plaster model; the measurements of said model (10) are then taken in 3D using a three-dimensional measuring apparatus (4, 15, 17) with light
wavefront analysis and
volume analysis which is carried out using shots, a
projector (15) being positioned at an angle to a camera (17) and said
projector (15) and camera (17) being mechanically and geometrically linked to a revolving platform (18) that is used to support the model by means of a frame (19) in order to obtain good
triangulation; the data are processed electronically (12) to remodel the morsels of volume; the files are subsequently modified electronically to determine exactly the desired profile; and the final element to be implanted is machined with a digitally-controlled
machine (6, 23, 24, 22).
