Abstract
A method and system are provided for manufacturing a dental prosthesis, in which the machining operations therefor may be optimized. Dimensional data of at least one critical parameter of the workpiece from which the crown is to be manufactured is determined and compared with corresponding target dimensional data of the desired prosthesis. The workpiece is then subjected to a material removal operation by a machining tool along machining paths that are determined on the basis of this comparison.
