Partial Dentures: A Viable Remedy for Edentulous Patients

mm Written by Andrew Sedler

In the United States, an estimated 120 million individuals suffer from the absence of at least one tooth. Tooth loss can lead to numerous detrimental health consequences, such as diabetes, cancer, and coronary complications.

As a result, it is crucial to provide edentulous patients with appropriate dental interventions. Treatments for missing teeth encompass dentures, partial dentures, dental implants, and fixed bridges. Each treatment option for edentulism presents its advantages and disadvantages. Removable options are often prescribed to address the financial or physiological concerns of patients. Given the increasing prevalence of edentulism, removable treatment modalities remain essential considerations.

Partial dentures represent a suitable solution for many patients, addressing diverse needs such as improved mastication, facial appearance, tooth alignment, and phonetics. Moreover, partial dentures are a cost-effective alternative for patients who cannot afford other treatments. The two most frequently prescribed partial dentures are cast metal and flexible metal-free variants.

Cast Metal Partial Dentures

Partial dentures - Burbank Dental Lab - California dental lab

Cast metal partial dentures are among the most commonly prescribed restorations (see above image). Burbank Dental Lab offers Vitallium 2000 and Vitallium 2000 Plus cast metal partial dentures, which provide a durable solution for missing teeth.

Vitallium 2000

Vitallium 2000 alloys exhibit fracture resistance (see above image) and can be adjusted similarly to gold without deformation, ensuring a precise fit. The material’s high strength allows for a smaller, lighter frame, enhancing comfort and esthetics. Vitallium 2000 partial dentures also provide benefits such as:

  • These appliances boast a high surface luster.
  • They provide better oral hygiene due to their plaque-resistant nature.
  • Biocompatibility (beryllium and nickel-free)
  • With long-standing clinical success, these are proven reliable and effective.
  • They are easy to adjust and can be modified without causing deformation.
  • Through the proper manufacturing process, they can offer a precise fit.
  • Patients report that these appliances are comfortable to wear.
  • This offers a visually appealing dental solution to edentulism.

These partial dentures are best suited for cases requiring rests or attachments to improve stabilization within the arch. The alloy used is a type of cobalt-chromium, which is biocompatible and offers numerous advantages.

However, one notable drawback is the potential compromise in esthetics due to visible metal clasps. Additionally, these restorations may promote bone loss on abutment teeth, cause adverse tissue reactions, and/or oral galvanism. Proper design and knowledge are essential in creating these restorations.

Flexible Partial Dentures

Partial dentures - Burbank Dental Lab - California dental lab

Valplast is another viable option for partial dentures, presenting a metal-free flexible alternative to cast partial dentures (see above image). The Valplast partial is fabricated using thermoplastic biocompatible nylon, which is so resilient that it is backed by a lifetime warranty against breakage of the partial base.

In addition to its remarkable durability, Valplast offers superior esthetics, meeting patients’ high expectations. Available in various tissue colors, Valplast restorations blend seamlessly within the oral cavity without requiring metal clasps.

These appliances serve more than an esthetic purpose, as they are essential for proper mastication and preventing undesirable tooth movements, such as drifting or overeruption. To be effective, the appliance must be worn consistently. Valplast provides one of the most comfortable solutions for patients who require a solution for missing dentition. A comfortable appliance ensures better compliance.

Valplast’s flexibility offers functionality and smooth integration within the mouth. Furthermore, the flexible material allows for equal distribution of masticatory forces, enhancing the partial’s longevity.

The benefits of Valplast include the following:

  • Biocompatibility: Valplast appliances are made from biocompatible, hypoallergenic nylon, reducing the risk of irritation or allergic reaction in patients.
  • Aesthetics: Valplast partial dentures offer a natural appearance due to their translucency and gum-colored base, seamlessly blending in with patients’ existing teeth and gums.
  • Metal-free option: Valplast appliances provide a metal-free alternative for patients with metal sensitivities or allergies or those who simply prefer a more natural-looking appliance.
  • Lightweight and comfortable: The flexible nature of Valplast appliances ensures a comfortable fit, reducing discomfort or pressure points in patients’ mouths.
  • Durability: Valplast appliances are resistant to breakage and fractures, providing a long-lasting solution for patients requiring partial dentures or other dental appliances.
  • Easy adjustments and relining: Valplast appliances can be easily adjusted or relined in-office, offering convenience for dentists and patients.
  • increased patient satisfaction: The combination of aesthetics, comfort, and durability leads to higher patient satisfaction and acceptance rates compared to traditional rigid partial dentures.
  • Retention: The flexibility of Valplast appliances allows for improved retention, requiring minimal or no additional clasping.
  • Reduced chair time: Valplast appliances typically require fewer appointments and less chair time for adjustments, saving both dentists and patients valuable time.
  • Cost-effective: Valplast appliances offer a cost-effective option for patients in need of partial dentures or other dental appliances without compromising on quality or comfort.

Valplast Best Practices

Valplast best practices emphasize that the appliance is completely tissue-bearing and does not require any preparation.

To ensure optimal results, it is recommended to use an alginate impression and perform a wax try-in.

Prior to insertion, the appliance should be heated to body temperature by submerging it in hot tap water for 60 seconds. Adjustments, particularly for the clasps, must be executed with caution since they are crucial for retention.

Partial dentures - Burbank Dental Lab - California dental lab

For tightening a clasp, immerse it in hot tap water and bend it outward. For loosening a clasp, bend it inward. To achieve a proper polish, utilize a bullet-shaped, straight handpiece silicone polisher specifically designed for acrylic with a medium grit. If adding teeth to the Valplast appliance becomes necessary, take an alginate impression with the appliance in place, seat the partial in the impression, and pour it immediately.

Send the impression to Burbank Dental Lab for any required modifications.

Additionally, if the partial needs to be rebased, take a rubber base impression. Ensure proper occlusion by having the patient close their mouth as the material sets. Next, take an alginate impression and pour it immediately, keeping the model attached to the denture.

Valplast partial dentures offer an excellent option for patients seeking a more esthetic solution for replacing missing teeth. Flexible partials provide maximum comfort, durability, and an affordable solution for tooth loss. With over 60 years of clinical practice, Valplast is an outstanding treatment option.

Thermoplastic Comfort System (TCS) Flexible Partial Denture

Partial dentures - Burbank Dental Lab - California dental lab

TCS (Thermoplastic Comfort System) is an innovative, flexible material increasingly used in the fabrication of partial dentures. This material provides a resilient, lightweight, and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional metal-based dentures. It’s composed of biocompatible nylon or polyurethane resins, which offer several advantages over traditional materials.

One of the major benefits of TCS material is its flexibility, which allows the denture to adapt to the constant movements and changes in the oral cavity. This flexibility results in increased comfort for the patient, as the denture can flex under chewing forces rather than transferring the force to the gums or remaining teeth.

TCS is also virtually unbreakable, providing excellent durability. Moreover, the material is translucent, which allows the natural gum color to show through, providing an extremely natural appearance. It’s also hypoallergenic, making it a great option for patients with sensitivity to conventional acrylic denture materials. With its blend of comfort, durability, and aesthetics, TCS material has become a popular choice for partial dentures.

In addition, these partial dentures offer the following benefits:

  • Improved Aesthetics: TCS partial dentures are designed to be virtually invisible, with no metal clasps showing. This can make wearers feel more confident about their appearance.
  • Adjustability: The flexible nature of TCS allows dental professionals to make adjustments for a more accurate and comfortable fit.
  • Minimal Oral Irritation: The soft and flexible characteristics of TCS significantly reduce the likelihood of oral tissue irritation compared to metal-based dentures.
  • Lower Thermal Conductivity: TCS material has a lower thermal conductivity, meaning it is not as sensitive to changes in temperature from hot or cold food and beverages. This can help enhance comfort for the wearer.
  • Nonporous Nature: TCS material is nonporous, which means it does not absorb odors or stains, maintaining a fresh and clean appearance over time.
  • Biocompatible: TCS is highly biocompatible, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
  • Ease of Maintenance: TCS dentures are relatively easy to maintain and clean, and they require less upkeep compared to traditional dentures.
  • Ideal for Patients with Limited Bone Support: Due to their design flexibility, TCS dentures can be a good choice for patients with limited bone support where implant placement is not possible or desirable.
  • Resistant to Fracture: The durable and resilient nature of TCS material makes it less likely to fracture or break, even when dropped.
  • Longevity: With proper care and maintenance, TCS dentures can provide a long-term dental solution.

TCS Best Practices

When it comes to working with TCS materials, dental professionals need to consider a range of best practices. First and foremost, a proper fit is crucial for the comfort and functionality of TCS dentures. Therefore, regular follow-ups with patients should be scheduled to make necessary adjustments. Accurate impressions play an integral role in the fabrication of TCS dentures; a poor-quality impression can result in a poorly fitted denture. In addition, it is important to consider the following:

u003csvg aria-hidden=u0022trueu0022 focusable=u0022falseu0022 data-prefix=u0022fasu0022 data-icon=u0022circleu0022 class=u0022svg-inlineu002du002dfa fa-circleu0022 role=u0022imgu0022 xmlns=u0022http://www.w3.org/2000/svgu0022 viewBox=u00220 0 512 512u0022u003eu003cpath fill=u0022currentColoru0022 d=u0022M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8zu0022u003eu003c/pathu003eu003c/svgu003e
  • Undercuts and Clasps: Consideration should be given to the design of the undercuts and clasps in the mouth, taking into account the flexibility of the TCS material. The appropriate use of undercuts can lead to a better and more comfortable fit for the patient.
  • Patient Education: Educate patients about the care and maintenance of their TCS dentures. This includes cleaning, handling, and storage practices to ensure the longevity of the denture.
  • Relining and Repairs: Even though TCS dentures are highly durable, they may require relining or repairs over time. It’s essential to work with a reliable dental lab that understands TCS material for these tasks.
  • Appropriate Selection: Not all patients are ideal candidates for TCS dentures. For example, those with extreme occlusal forces or bruxism may not be suitable candidates. Always perform a thorough patient examination and evaluation before deciding on TCS as the material of choice.
  • Regular Check-ups: Encourage regular dental visits for patients with TCS dentures. This allows you to monitor the condition of both the denture and the oral tissues, ensuring the patient’s ongoing comfort and oral health.

By following these best practices, dentists can ensure the highest degree of success when utilizing TCS material for partial dentures.
