Guys kindly help me out here
I Is it true that while Valplast are made from Nylon like material , Flexite are made from Vinyl composite. What are the pros and cons of nylon versus vinyl made flexible denture ?
2. Is it true that if both are made to the same thickness, flexite are firmer than valplast and thus with flexite they can be made slightly thinner than valplast and yet as strong. Therefore being able to make them thinner makes Flexite more translucent than valplast and thus it blends better with the gum color , making it slightly more asthetically pleasing.
3. Is it true that Flexite are more "dentist friendly" meaning easier for dentist to adjust for example sore spots in comparison to Valplast ?
PS: missing tooth are #21 and #22 upper central and lateral incisor. Rest of teeth are healthy and properly aligned.
In such case would going to a General dentist be enough or advisable to go to a prosthodentist for the required removable partial denture design ? Seems to not be a really complicated case that would require seeking the more expensive prosthodentist to design and make the partial removable denture . Am I wrong ?
Thank you
