Valplast Flexible Partials | Bremadent Dental Laboratory in London
'Valplast® Flexible Partials' are the first flexible partial in the world and has over 60+ years of research and development. It's a nylon based material, which makes it 100% monomer free, flexible, thin, comfortable and easy to adapt to with a life long guarantee. It's routinely used as an alternative to acrylic partial dentures and is used for one tooth partials to hybrid cobalt chrome partials and an interim before implant placement.
'Valplast® Flexible Partials' have a unique clasping system, the flexible clasps are translucent with natural gingival shades and provides 'Retention' and 'Reciprocation' that blend in naturally with gingiva.
The major connector is designed to sit on the cingulum of the anterior teeth and acts like an occulsal rest. There is also relief on areas around the periphery and bony areas, this stops adverse pressure on the gingiva, gingival tissues or periodontum.
Technical Features:
'Valplast® Flexible Partials' are nylon based and 100% monomer free, the major connectors have a uniform thickness of 1.5mm, which allows for flexibility. The 'Flexible Clasps' are 1mm above the gingival necks of the clasped teeth for aesthetics with 6 translucent gingival shades available. 'Flexible Clasps' are 1mm interdentally between the adjacent tooth and clasped tooth, which provides accurate retention and reciprocation. There is 0.5mm of relief around the periphery, clasps and small connectors. The major connector is designed to seat on the cingulum areas and acts like an occulsal rest.
All Valplast® Flexible Partials and flexible clasps are surveyed on a surveyor for path of insertion and retention.
Clinical Features:
'Valplast® Flexible Partials' are easy to adapt to, light weight, thin and flexible which makes them comfortable to wear for the patient. They blend in naturally in the mouth whilst being held firmly and securely with flexible clasps. The nylon material is flexible and makes the Valplast virtually unbreakable with a life long guarantee.
For implant cases:
It's routinely used as an interim before and after implant placement due it's design features. The Valplast seats onto the cingulum areas to stop adverse pressure on the area of the implant. During surveying for path of insertion and retention, extra relief is added in the area of the implant placement on the bone and the flexible clasps help aid retention which allows for a thin (1.5mm) small major connector as the main retention is from the flexible clasps. This allows the patient to easily adapt for the transition of implant placement before the the final restoration without causing adverse pressure on the area of implant placement to allow for implant healing to take place.
Single tooth replacement:
Valplast flexible is designed to be used for single tooth replacements when a fixed bridge cannot be achieved, immediate replacement of a single tooth after extractions e.g future implant placement or the patient would like a removable without metal clasps for aesthetic reasons due to it’s design features of flexible translucent clasps and thin thickness level (1.5mm).
It is not recommended for complete dentures, gum fitted anterior teeth, over closed OVD (tight occlusion) or small inter-occlusal space.
