Method for constructing a dental component The invention relates to a method for constructing a dental component (1, 2, 4, 5), specifically a restoration (2, 4, 5), bite tray or impression tray, wherein a tooth situation (7) is measured by means of a dental camera (6) and a 3D model (10) of the tooth situation (7) is generated. A convolutional neural network (CNN) for machine learning is applied to the 3D model (10) of the tooth situation (7) and a 3D model (21, 23, 25) of the component (1, 2, 4, 5), specifically the restoration (2, 4, 5), bite tray or impression tray, is generated automatically.
