DuraFlex
Flexible Partials
AT GREAT PRICES AND HIGHER
QUALITY.
Besides those patients
preferring enhanced comfort and esthetics,
flexible partial dentures are also useful for
patients who may have acrylic or metal allergies
or who would simply prefer a
metal-free removable.
A clinical advantage
of flexible partials is that they are minimally
invasive: no tooth preparation or occlusal rest
seats are required, which allows to them to be
easily and successfully incorporated as interim
prostheses in implant treatment planning.

Flexible
partial dentures
offer the dental profession a more comfortable
and esthetic alternative to conventional
metal-based partials; they also serve a useful
role in implant treatment planning.
Expected shifts in
demographics should only serve to
increase the number of patients who could
benefit from this treatment option.
Flexible partial dentures are contraindicated
if:
-
vertical clearance is limited to 3 mm
-
when abutment teeth have minimal undercuts.
-
The most common complaints about flexible
partials have been that they are difficult to
adjust, they may stain or develop odors over
time, and teeth cannot be added after the
initial denture is fabricated, and that is
resolved using our duraflex.
Demographic Changes
The niche occupied by RPDs in the dental
practice is a function of oral health,
professional care, and economics.
While the percentage of the US population that
is fully edentulous has declined over the past
20 years due to
advances in oral health, the percentage of
partially dentate patients has risen. This shift
toward a greater percentage of partially dentate
patients, when combined with the significant
increase in the 65-and-older population that is
expected over the next 20 years, could stimulate
greater patient demand for RPDs, and Flexible
RPDs
A recent survey
indicates that 70% of dentists provide flexible
partial dentures in their practice and that 25%
to 30% of all RPDs prescribed are flexible. The
widespread and growing acceptance of flexible
partial dentures is primarily due to patient
considerations: patients largely find them to be
more comfortable, more esthetic and easier to
insert than metal-based partials.
