Abstract
A method for producing a prosthesis or partial prosthesis based on digital data, using multiple teeth present in a dental arch (14) and a prosthesis base to be produced. The prosthesis base is rough-milled by a milling tool, i.e. is milled in a first step, and the prosthesis base present as a semi-finished product, in particular in regions of the prosthesis base on which the teeth and the prosthesis base abut against each another and/or are to be bonded to each other, is partially milled, i.e. is milled in a second step, by a different milling tool, thereby being brought to a target height which corresponds to the desired bonding gap between the prosthesis base and the tooth or dental arch (14).
