Flexible partial dentures will be used widely during the next 20 years. Since most people today keep their own teeth longer than those 20 years ago, the demand for flexible partial dentures will grow greatly during the next ten years. Dentures of this type have grown in popularity during the past twenty years but since they could not be repaired their growth has been inhibited. The use of plastic clasps in the anterior region has made these dentures esthetically acceptable over metal clasps. The cost of these dentures over bridges has made these dentures more economical and more desirable.

Our partial dentures are superior because of the following:

1. Composite formulation makes dentures easier to prepare and stable.

2. Clarity permits clasps to be unnoticeable in mouth.

3. Clasps will not yellow on aging.

4. Dentures may be repaired and clasps can be replaced.

5. Dentures are comfortable in mouth.

6. No allergy problems since denture does not contain any methyl methacrylate.

Our cast partials are fabricated from a denture composite resin with outstanding properties and heat cured to compensate for any curing shrinkage. This procedure produces a durable, better fitting partial that is both dimensionally stable and non-allergenic.

Advantages for the patient include better retention, greater mouth comfort, less irritation, and a cleaner denture with less staining and mouth odor. In addition, the patient need not soak the denture in water to retain its fit, and because the denture resin contains no free monomer, allergic reactions are virtually eliminated. Patient and doctor satisfaction is high.

Our partials may be easily repaired and anterior clasps may be replaced if necessary with new plastic clasps for better esthetics.

ADVANTAGES FOR THE DENTIST:

2. Better dimensional stability maintains fit for fewer complaints.

3. Stronger denture reduces breakage.

4. Eliminates problem of patients who are allergic to any acrylic denture because no methyl methacrylate is used.

5. Dentist is able to charge a premium fee for this improved denture.

6. Eliminates any material porosity since the denture is molded at low tempurature.

ADVANTAGES FOR THE PATIENT:

1. Greater mouth comfort and denture functionality with a better fitting denture.

2. Lower water absorption permits denture to maintain fit without requiring soaking in water.

3. Lower absorption of mouth fluids reduces denture staining which reduces mouth odor.

4. Non allergenic property eliminates any patient allergies (no methyl methacrylate).

5. Stronger denture reduces chance of denture breakage. Provides easier repair, if needed.

6. Better esthetics with plastic clasps in clear or tooth shades.

7. Excellent color stability.

8. Denture and clasps will not yellow on aging.
