Valplast Flexible Partials Description

Valplast's flexibility removes many of the unwanted aspects of metal partials. There are fewer steps in the treatment process because preparation of natural teeth is unnecessary. It simplifies the design and enables the RPD itself to balance the simultaneous requirements of retention, support and stability. Without the metal frame, the fabrication and try-in processes have also been simplified. In addition, the choice of a Valplast® partial avoids the placement of metal in your patient’s mouth, which allows you to satisfy the patient’s interest in metal-free dentistry. Valplast is the industry’s most proven flexible RPD material backed by the most extensive knowledge, experience, training and advanced equipment.

Valplast® flexible partials are indicated for use as a partial denture in place of traditional metal substructure appliances. They can also be used for saddles or clasps on cast-metal partials. Offering unique physical and esthetic properties, biocompatible Valplast provides lifelike esthetics and flawlessly blends with the patient’s natural tissue and surrounding dentition. The Valplast injection process provides ideal adaptation to both hard and soft tissues.

Stain-resistant, durable and comfortable in the mouth, Valplast flexible partials contain no metal or wire clasps. This, along with the natural hue of the appliance, allows it to blend with surrounding gums and dentition.
