Metal Partials – SLM / Titanium / Vitallium® 2000

Each partial denture framework from Mabel Dental Lab uses only the highest quality materials. This guarantees you ideal strength and bio-compatibility, as it is one of the purest forms of chrome cobalt alloy with no nickel and no beryllium. We offer a standard SLM framework, Titanium and a premium Dentsply Vitallium® 2000 framework (cast).

All of our standard SLM frames are fabricated via Selective Laser Melting (SLM). This is done within a purely digital workflow that produces excellent fitting partials. Physical impressions or models are first scanned, then digitally designed and then fabricated via SLM. They are then seated back onto the original stone model. A study by McGill University showed that SLM frames reduced the number of patient problems by 50%! This includes cleanability, tissue irritation and stability. The study also concluded that seating times were much quicker due to reduced adjustment and overall fit. It was also concluded that speech was less affected due to better designs and overall improved function.

Our 3D printed Titanium frames have excellent biocompatibility and do not react with a patient’s tissue. They will not cause gingival inflammation, black tooth edge, oral metal odor or other problems. They are much lighter than conventional frameworks while having extremely high strength, corrosion resistant and are safe and reliable.

Vitallium 2000 frames have been the industry standard for over 80 years. The high fracture resistance of the frame enables us to fabricate lighter, more refined partials for improved asthetics and greater patient comfort. currently still being fabricated by being casted. Vitallium’s alloy permits predictable adjustments with unprecedented fracture resistance.

Flexible Partials

We offer high quality TCS® Unbreakable flexible partials. The material is a flexible, biocompatible, thermoplastic nylon with unique physical and esthetic properties. Their translucency and four tissue colors allow the patient’s natural tissue tone to appear through the partial material. With our flexibles, the patient gets a great fitting partial, firm enough to handle the job, yet flexible enough to provide a more comfortable fit. So comfortable, so aesthetic, no one will know a patient is wearing a partial – not even the patient.

tcs Flexible Shade Guide

The flexible material can also be used in combination with a metal framework to provide increased strength (see below, can be used as a substitute for metal clasps). It is also available with clear clasps and tooth colored clasps and patients really love the natural look. They offer a range of shades to customize not only the denture base, but the clasps. Dentists and patients can choose between pink to blend with the gingival or clear, to help hide the clasps.

VisiClear® Framework

A newer product to Mabel Dental Lab, this clear flexible framework has many advantages. It takes on the color of the surrounding teeth and tissue. Unlike a metal framework, it’s flexibility offers increased patient comfort and satisfaction. VisiClear is resistant to stains, bacteria and odors. Acrylic saddles are added to the final frame allowing relining or repairing of the saddle area only.

The study also concluded that seating times were much quicker due to reduced adjustment and overall fit. It was also concluded that speech was less affected due to better designs and overall improved function. At this time Vitallium 2000 frames are done via casting and not SLM.

DurAcetal® Framework & Clasps

DurAcetal is a tooth-colored thermoplastic resin that comes in several Vita shades. It is not only beautiful but strong, durable, bio-compatible, bacteria and stain resistant and has a “Snap-Fit” for comfort. For patients that absolutely do not want a metal framework perhaps due to allergy or holistic preference, DurAcetal is the solution! It’s ideal for partial denture frameworks and other metal-free removable applications. They have elastic memory and are designed to engage securely into the natural undercuts of abutment teeth for maximum hold. You can add DurAcetal clasps to a metal framework, flexible partials and acrylic partials.

DurAcetal is available in VITA shades: A1, A2, A3, A3.5 & B1.

Acrylic Flippers

Acrylic Flipper Acrylic Flipper with Clasps

A removable partial denture consisting of in an all-acrylic base with or without wrought wire clasps. It is used to restore anterior esthetics and maintain tooth position. An acrylic flipper can be used when standard to complex case planning requires diagnostic and prosthetic approval between the doctor and patient.
