Materials and key benefits:

Product Materials Key Benefits
SLM Cobalt Chrome Partial SLM frame (cobalt chrome), acrylic, denture teeth, clasps High strength, durable
SLM Titanium Partial SLM frame (titanium), acrylic, denture teeth, clasps High strength, durable, esthetics, best biocompatibility
Acetal Partial Acetal resin (milled), denture teeth, clasps Alternative for patients with allergies to other materials, durable
Thermoplastic Partial Flexible thermoplastic, denture teeth, clasps Flexible, added comfort
Thermoplastic Partial Hybrid SLM frame (printed metal), flexible thermoplastic, denture teeth, clasps Flexible, added comfort, additional strength
All-Acrylic Partial (Flipper) Acrylic, denture teeth, clasps (wrought wire or esthetic) Lightweight, economical

How the hybrid fits in: the standard Thermoplastic Partial is fully metal-free and prioritizes comfort and esthetics. The Thermoplastic Partial Hybrid adds an internal SLM metal framework that provides additional strength and stability without the need for metal clasps, bridging the gap between a flexible partial and a full metal-framework partial. Compared to the all-metal SLM Cobalt Chrome and SLM Titanium options, the hybrid keeps the tissue-friendly comfort and invisible esthetics of flexible material in the visible zones.
