The invention relates to a method for constructing a dental component (1) using a graphic representation (5) of a dental condition. A 3D volume model (6) of the dental condition is thus already correlated with a 3D surface model (7) of the dental condition, wherein the graphic representation (5) of the 3D volume model (6) is restricted to relevant regions (34) by delimitation using the 3D surface model (7) or using a section (21) thereof, wherein the remaining regions of the 3D volume model (6) are hidden.
