Sunflex Material
Sunflex is a pressure-injected, flexible denture base resin that is ideal for partial dentures and unilateral restorations. The resin is a biocompatible nylon thermoplastic with unique physical and esthetic properties.
The material is a specialized form of nylon in the family of Superpolymides (a very pure nylon) that will not deteriorate chemically when it comes into contact with the fluids, bacteria, and physical environment of the mouth. Available In five shade categories (Crystal, Light Pink, Pink, Medium Meharry and Dark Meharry), Sunflex is uniquely formulated to allow your patient's natural tissue tone to appear through the material for optimal esthetics.
Types Of Sunflex Partials
Sunflex can be used whenever you are considering a removable partial denture for your patient. There are three basic design options when considering Sunflex:
Sunflex Bilateral Partial Denture: The metal-free, flexible Sunflex Partial provides a fully-functional, yet esthetically superior, removable partial denture. Patients who have worn both conventional metal partials and Sunflex Partials report that Sunflex feels more natural in the mouth because of the thinness and lightweight design of the material. Additionally, patients report that Sunflex Partials give them more confidence when smiling and appearing in public because of excellent retention and the thin clasp designs.
Sunflex Unilateral Partial Denture: The unilateral Sunflex restoration provides patients with an esthetic, functional design alternative to conventional cross-arch partial dentures. Base combined with the thin clasp designs provide maximum retention, stability and esthetic appeal.
Combination Sunflex with Cast Partial Framework Denture: The Sunflex partial denture can also be used with cast metal frameworks for natural-appearing esthetics. The combination of the cast metal framework with Sunflex provides enhanced stability because the metal clasps can rest on existing natural teeth.
Compare
