[QUOTE="AJEL, post: 30539, member: 1480"] More over Valplast is a 1950's nylon "Polyamides" Flexite has some formulas simular, they also have a a thermoplastic acrylic "PMMA", The Vinyl would be Astron 1080 and can be processed with injection or trial packing. Myerson & Flexite also have Acetal resin, like is used in the "snap on smile" The nylon & acetal are very strong requiring special furnaces & hi injection pressures, they are also almost impossible to repair. The old Valplast formula tends to be very sensitive to moisture (sponges happen),TCS has a nice medical grade nylon composite like the Myerson CDM material it is easier to finish, and polishes well. A true vinyl denture when processed correctly is no harder to handle than standard premium PMMA, and can be relined & repaired with PMMA. But the vinyl is not flexable for what U are suggesting. If U have the equipment U might be best suited with a snap on type restoration like a tooth colored nesbit of acetal material. If U do not have the injector, Astron has a Butelmethy in light(62),med(65),dark(69) that might work it is flexable like their clearsplint material, but I have experienced it holding up only a few years. If U are processing with teeth use .5mm drill to make diatorics in teeth. [/QUOTE]
