Partials

Partials

Partially edentulous patients are a growing population and the clinicians treating them will be in high demand during the coming years. NDX has a complete portfolio of partials for every situation, including the newest in flexible solutions. Regardless of the demands of the patient, we can design a partial that will exceed all expectations.

Cast Partials

NDX’s high-strength cast metal partials are made with cobalt-chrome alloy. Our alloy features a refined surface that polishes to a high-mirrored shine and is resistant to plaque buildup and are nickel-free, beryllium-free and iron-free. When a patient requires the strength of a cast partial, but with the aesthetics of a flexible partial, NDX’s hybrid partial is an excellent choice. Our hybrid partial consists of a cobalt-chrome cast metal subframe with flexible clasps or saddles. Clasps can be effectively hidden by crafting them from our clear or tissue-shaded Valplast or Duraflex thermoplastic materials.

Benefits

  • Less invasive and less expensive than bridges or implants.
  • Cobalt-chrome alloy increases adjustability while still limiting breakability.
  • High strength alloy also makes for thinner frameworks and stronger clasps.
  • Perfect for patients with certain metal allergies.

Indications

  • To replace several teeth in the same quadrant or both quadrants of the same arch.
  • As a temporary replacement for missing teeth in a child.
  • To replace missing teeth for patients who do not want a fixed bridge or implants.
  • To serve as a splint to support periodontally involved teeth.
  • For patients who maintain good oral hygiene.

Contraindications

  • Lack of suitable teeth in the arch to support, stabilize, and retain the removable prosthesis.
  • Rampant caries or severe periodontal conditions that threaten the remaining teeth in the arch.
  • A lack of patient acceptance for esthetic reasons.
  • Chronic poor oral hygiene.

What to Send

  • Upper and lower models or impressions with tooth preparations
  • Tooth shade
  • Bite registration
