The invention relates to a method for constructing a restoration (1), in which a dental situation (3) is measured by means of a dental camera (2) and a 3D model (4) of the dental situation (3) is generated. In this case, a computer-assisted detection algorithm is applied to the 3D model (4) of the dental situation (3), wherein a type of restoration (17) and/or at least a tooth number (18) and/or a position of the restoration (1) to be inserted are automatically determined.
