QDent Semiflex Acrylic

[BMRuskin]

Does anyone have experience using this system?

My question is can the whole prostheses be made from base acrylic or is separate clasp material needed?

Thanks in advance.

Ben.

My customers use it for smaller applications & clasps as well. I can send you a
free sample call me.

It is all made from the same material.
The clasps are not separate in process or material, they are part of the rpd as much as and the same way as the saddles.

If you ever saw/waxed a Valplast, TCS, or Snowrock it is the same process.

I like this as it can be added to, repaired, and relined. I have done add tooth and clasp with seamless results.

I have and do use this and have only had positive responses.

How is the flexibility/toughness compared to Valplast, Duraflex, Karadent?

I'm 5'11'' and my test one dropped onto a 100 year old tile floor 10 times from as high as I could reach while on tippie toes before breaking on the 11th drop.

It is not a flexible as nylon. It flexes enough to engage/disengage undercuts. Which frankly I see as a feature since this also means it doesn't deform under masticatory stress and rub the gingiva but pushes on it instead like normal pmma.

Hello Ron
I was interested in how the Qdent can be utilized to add clasps (can it be added to or used to modify an existing acrylic partial?). Sorry for contacting you like this (and hopefully I’m not spamming other people — this is my first time trying to message someone). Thank you for your time and help. Respectfully, Nick

Greetings Earthling! Welcome!

as a mod: You're fine. You're using the place exactly as we want. To contact other techs and our sponsors!

as a user of Qdent: it does chemically bond with other mma and pmma acrylics. I add some mechanical undercuts when adding to it for my sanity as I give a 90 day warranty on all repairs.

It is an mma acrylic, and processes similar to other pourable materials.

Well that's upsetting. I'm still using from what I bought from them. I'll dig too. Let me know what you come up with if you find a supplier first.

Looks like we may be out of luck. http://qdentusa.com/ is for sale. It's a Spanish import and they may have decided not to deal with us anymore.

It's owned or made or something by Mestra. https://www.infodent.com/news?op=rec&id=1270

@rc75 Can you shine any light on this? Did they decide the US market was not for them?

We no longer carry that product, sorry.
