Valplast
Today dentists are prescribing flexible material for removable partial dentures (RPDs) because it makes a better, stronger appliance faster. Flexible material reduces chair time, eliminates invasive procedures and the cumbersome materials associated with rigid partials. In short, there is no longer any need for metal.
An Introduction to Valplast Flexible Partials
Metal-based RPD design is complex because it has to adapt rigid materials to a flexible environment. This leaves room for error particularly under conditions where ideal designs and clinical preparations are challenged.
In contrast, the material in flexible partials is perfectly suited to the variety of natural conditions in the mouth. It simplifies the design and enables the RPD itself to balance the simultaneous requirements of retention, support and stability.
Valplast is a flexible denture base resin that is ideal for partial dentures and unilateral restorations. The resin is a biocompatible nylon thermoplastic with unique physical and aesthetic properties that provides unlimited design versatility and eliminates the concern about acrylic allergies. Valplast may be used whenever you are considering a removable partial denture for your patient.
VALPLAST KEY BENEFITS ARE:
* Retention - flexes into a retentive position, below the undercut.
* Comfort - thin, lightweight and flexible.
* Esthetics - pink shades that allow your patient's natural tissue tone to appear through the material.
* Strength - clinically unbreakable, more durable than acrylic and won't absorb stains or odors.
* Ease - no tooth or tissue preparation is required so you can offer patients a conservative and pain-free solution.
