Flexible partials aren’t exactly new - Valplast has been making them since 1953. But with so many new denture materials trying to make a name for themselves, how do you know that your flexible partials are being fabricated from genuine Valplast® material?
They recently added serial numbers to their guarantee certificates to provide an extra level of traceability on Valplast® products, giving you assurance that Roots is using only Valplast® for your flexible partials. Now, patients can also register their Valplast® partials online to activate their lifetime-limited warranty.
About Their Material
Two dental technicians, Arpad and Tibor Nagy first invented the flexible partial denture in the early 1950’s in their laboratory, Master-Touch Dental Lab. The product was named Valplast® and a new company, Valplast International Corporation was created to promote the product to dentists and dental technicians around the world. In the nearly six decades since it was first invented Valplast® has been used in millions of successful clinical cases worldwide. Not all brands of flexible denture are the same and it is important to know the differences that can be exhibited amongst them.
Some of these differences include:
Flexural modulus at body temperature
Ability to resist breakage and deformation in high deflection (clasp) and low deflection (masticatory load) situations
Color, translucency and aesthetic properties of the material
Water absorption and ability to resist staining
Clinical experience and history
Options available for repairs & relines
Biocompatibility & cytotoxicity
In several university studies Valplast® has been shown to have ideal physical and aesthetic properties for use as an all resin based dental prosthesis 1,2 When compared to other brands of flexible resin, Valplast® has been proven to be free of breakage and fracture and to possess an optimal flexural modulus at body temperature.
Valplast® resin is sold to the lab in pre-dosed, pre-packaged cartridges that have all undergone strict quality control in production thanks to our expertly managed, ISO 13485 certified quality management system. Valplast® is FDA registered, CE certified, and certified by the health ministries of many foreign governments including Japan, Russia and Korea.
All of these factors combine with their six decades of experience in the field of flexible partial dentures to provide you with a premium product you know you can trust.
How Authentication Works
With their new authentication program you will now be receiving a serialised Certificate of Guarantee with every Valplast® appliance that you prescribe. When they produce Valplast® resin cartridges they are packaged with an equal number of guarantee certificates for delivery to Roots dental laboratory. Roots dental laboratory will then process the Valplast® appliance and include the Valplast® Certificate of Guarantee with every case for delivery. When your office receives the case be sure to look for the Valplast® Certificate of Guarantee. The certificate contains important patient care information and also information on how to insert, adjust and polish a Valplast® appliance. Most importantly, the certificate contains a unique 25 digit serial number that can be used to identify the appliance as a genuine Valplast® restoration. Your patient can then use this serial number to register the appliance on our website, REGISTRATION, and activate their lifetime limited warranty on the product.
