Partial Dentures
Presented by Justin Marks of Valplast International Corp.
(2 hrs. documented scientific credit)

By utilizing an unbreakable, flexible nylon base resin, Valplast® partials can eliminate many of the unwanted aspects of metal framework partials. The damaging network of stresses that act on natural abutment teeth can be eliminated or reduced, providing longer term function in an RPD. The aesthetics of Valplast® are unmatched, replacing unsightly metal clasps with aesthetic, tissue colored retentive arms that blend in seamlessly with the patient’s natural tissues.

The history of Valplast®, flexible partial theory & function, case histories, special applications, lab technique overview and clinical and patient information will be presented in this course. All labs and dentists unfamiliar to Valplast® and experienced Valplast® users alike would benefit from this presentation.
