Removable Prosthetics
Vitallium Complete
This would be a Vitallium cast partial, teeth set, acrylic processed, polished ready for insertion.
Simply by placing the case in very hot tap water for approximately one minute, you can achieve a very smooth insertion and an excellent adaptation to the natural tissues of the mouth. If a clasp isn't fitting perfectly, you may adjust it slightly by immersing that area of the partial in hot water and bending the clasp outward or inward as needed.
If any reduction is needed due to persistent irritation, the resin must be handled differently than acrylic. We recommend a #13 Green Mounted Stone, typically used for porcelain, to quickly reduce the surface yet leave it very smooth. If any threads remain, you may remove them with a sharp blade and smooth any roughness with a brown rubber wheel. You may then repolish the surface with Acrylux®150, Brown Tripoli and the Mirror-ShineTM polishing compound.
