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 the preferred 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.
