A Closer Look at Valplast Flexible Dentures

Let’s look at what makes Valplast special. These are not your old-fashioned dentures. They are a new option for when some teeth are missing.

The Amazing Material

The secret to Valplast flexibility is its material. Valplast is mostly made of a semicrystalline polyamide (nylon) resin.

• Strength and Durability: It shows a bending strength usually between 70 and 110 MPa, a strong feature that helps it last a long time during normal use.
• How It Handles Water: Valplast soaks up water at a rate between 0.5% and 1.2% by weight after being placed in water for 24 hours at 37°C, according to ISO 20795-1 standards.
• How It Works with the Body: Valplast polyamide is not harmful to cells and causes very little swelling or irritation. Very importantly, in tests that copy the mouth’s environment, no meaningful amount of harmful chemicals has been found to leak out.
• Keeping Its Color and Look: Good looks are very important in modern dental work. Tests that speed up aging and studies in real-life situations show that Valplast usually keeps its color and clearness better than PMMA for 1 to 3 years.
• How It Resists Chemicals: Valplast polyamide is good at resisting most common mouth cleaners, acids, and bases.

This makes both the upper valplast partial and the lower valplast partial very safe choices.

Design and Appearance

The design of valplast flexible dentures is all about looking good and feeling comfortable.

• Invisible Look: The flexible denture base is see-through. This means light passes through it, letting the real color of the gums show. This makes the dentures look very natural.
• No Metal: It uses thin, gum-colored clasps instead of metal clasps. These “invisible clasps” hold onto the remaining teeth without anyone seeing them. This is a big part of its great dental aesthetics. This is much better than old metal dentures made from Wironium or Titanium.

These are truly good-looking dentures that help with a patient’s confidence.

Comparing Valplast with Other Denture Materials

Picking the best material for a denture is a very important choice for dental professionals, weighing its strength, looks, patient comfort, and cost. At Istar Dental Lab, we offer a full set of options, and knowing the pros and cons of Valplast against other materials is key.

The Process: From Your Clinic to Our Lab

Making Valplast flexible dentures is a very specific process that needs careful work, special tools, and close checking. At Istar Dental Lab, we follow very strict rules to make sure every Valplast product is top-quality in fit, function, and looks.

• Valplast-Specific Injection Molding Systems: Unlike normal acrylic dentures, Valplast dentures are made using special injection systems. These systems include special flasks, heaters that can reach exact temperatures (usually 287–288°C), and injection guns. They are made to work with the special way this thermoplastic nylon resin flows and hardens. This special equipment is very important for getting the best results from the material.
• Making the Wax Model and Channels: The first step of making the wax model is very important. Our technicians carefully design the wax model, keeping in mind how flexible the material is and that it’s not stiff like traditional acrylic. The channels for the material are made with thicker wax sticks, usually 4–5 mm wide, to handle the thickness of the melted Valplast. Putting the channels in the right place is extremely important to make sure the material flows evenly and to lower the chance of trapping air, which causes tiny holes.
• Injection Settings—Temperature, Pressure, and Time: Close control over the injection settings is a must. A standard injection means heating the resin to 287–288°C, using an injection pressure of 6–7 bar (87–102 psi), and keeping that pressure for 2–3 minutes after injecting. These exact settings make sure the mold is filled completely, reduce stress inside the material, and stop common problems. Not following these rules is a main reason for tiny holes, a poor fit, and weaker material.
• Removing from the Flask and Cooling: After injecting, cooling it down slowly is very important. We let the flask cool down on its own, often at room temperature for 30–60 minutes, to stop it from bending out of shape or getting internal stress that could weaken the denture. Fast cooling, like dropping it in water, should never be done because it can cause tiny cracks or make it lose its shape.
• Finishing and Polishing: Finishing Valplast needs to be done carefully. Our technicians use special carbide burs and fine sandpapers, being careful not to create too much heat, which can change the shape of the nylon. Polishing is done with pumice and special high-shine pastes made for nylon-based resins, because normal acrylic polishers don’t work and can damage the surface. This careful polishing is very important for getting a shiny surface that plaque doesn’t stick to easily and that doesn’t stain.
• Quality Checks—Fit, Grip, and Surface: Quality checks are part of every step of our making process. Each Valplast denture is checked very carefully by looking and feeling to find any tiny holes, spots that didn’t fill, or rough areas. We carefully check the fit on the master cast and test its grip with standard force-measuring tools to make sure it works perfectly for the patient. The surface is checked under a magnifier (10–20x) to find any tiny flaws that could affect its look or how clean it stays.

We focus on the details in our work.

When to Use Valplast Flexible Dentures

Here are some common reasons to use Valplast in a dental office.

• For One or More Missing Teeth: It is a great way to replace teeth without surgery for patients who are missing some teeth but not all of them. It is best for small to medium-sized partial dentures, especially when looks are most important, or in cases with deep grooves.
• Temporary Solution: It can be used as a temporary denture while a patient waits for dental implants or a dental bridge.
• After Tooth Loss: It can be used to fill in empty gaps right after a tooth is removed. It is also good for fixing just one side.
• For Sensitive Patients: It’s a top choice for patients with sensitive gums.

However, there are also reasons not to use Valplast. It may not be the best choice if a patient has very few teeth left or needs more stiff support. Our team can help you decide. Choosing the right valplast flexible dentures is important.

Patient Care and What to Tell Them

Helping your patients with keeping dentures clean is very important. Here are some tips on how to care for and clean Valplast.

• Daily Cleaning: Patients should know how to clean Valplast dentures. They should be cleaned every day to stop bacteria from growing.
• Special Cleaner: Suggest a Valplast cleaner like Val-Clean. A sonic denture cleaner also works well. Strong cleaners can harm the Valplast.
• Eating and Speaking: Tell patients there is a short adjustment period for Valplast dentures. Soon, eating with Valplast dentures and speaking with Valplast dentures will feel normal and help them chew better.
• Repairs and Adjustments: This is a key drawback. Valplast is very hard to reline or fix with normal dental resins because it doesn’t stick well with chemicals. Special repair kits exist but can only be used for small fixes, often needing to be re-injected at the lab. We offer a Valplast warranty on the material.

Let us help you create great smiles with every maxillary valplast partial and lower valplast partial you order.
