What is a Thermoplastic Hybrid Partial Denture?

A thermoplastic hybrid partial denture combines the esthetic and comfort advantages of flexible nylon-based material with strategically placed metal framework components to deliver optimal function and retention. It is designed to maximize the strengths of each material in a single appliance.

The hybrid approach uses flexible thermoplastic for superior patient comfort and invisible esthetics in tissue-contacting areas, while incorporating a precision SLM (Selective Laser Melting) printed metal framework where maximum structural support and durability are essential. The result is an appliance where thermoplastic flexibility provides tissue-friendly comfort and natural appearance, while the metal framework ensures reliable structural integrity and long-term stability.

A defining feature of this design is that the SLM metal framework gives additional strength and stability without the need for metal clasps. The metal is internal and structural, so the visible clasps remain tissue-colored and flexible.

Key characteristics include:

Attribute Detail
Material class Flexible nylon-based thermoplastic with SLM metal framework
Framework Internal SLM printed metal framework
Clasps Flexible, tissue-colored (no metal clasps required)
Primary use Partial tooth replacement
Standout qualities Comfort, esthetics, additional strength and stability

This hybrid technology is ideal for patients who desire the comfort and esthetics of flexible materials without sacrificing the proven strength and reliability of a traditional metal framework. Explore the full product details on the Thermoplastic Partial Hybrid product page.
