[QUOTE="model guy, post: 335267, member: 3465"] It is my understanding that flexibles were never intended to be a permanent solution. Every lab has their own techniques for designing and processing these partials. If the clasping is lower and on the gingival of the tooth, it tends to really beat up on the gums through insertion and removal. I tend to design my clasps to be a little beefier but only to remain of the tooth structure to avoid perio damage. Ditto the lack of chemical bond between the flexible base and the denture tooth used. The teeth rely solely on a mechanical bond. Tight bites should be observed as a contra indication. [/QUOTE]
