Abstract
A support system for the manufacture of dental restorations is provided that includes a measurement device for determining the tooth data, such as the tooth color and color coordinates, and a data processing device including a camera for capturing a tooth image. The data processing device includes a reception module and the measurement device has a transmission module, for direct transmission of measured tooth data from the measurement device to the data processing device. The support system further includes an allocation module integrated into the data processing device for allocating the received tooth data to the tooth image, and a transmission module integrated into the data processing device for transmission of the tooth image inclusive of allocated tooth data to a data processing device of a dental laboratory.
