The use of metal clasps or precision attachments for positioning and retaining partial dentures has been a time-honoured method of restoring function and improving esthetics for patients with missing dentition. However, clasp partials also require comparatively strong teeth to support the stresses involved. In cases where the patient has only a few natural teeth remaining, these stresses, in combination with ongoing bone and tissue resorption and greatly reduced propriosensitivity, can lead to the loss of weak or questionable dentition, hastening the ultimate necessity for full dentures. Now, there is a new option in the battle to save natural dentition and provide greater patient comfort, esthetics and the postpone- ment of unnecessary tooth loss: the Virginia Partial, the perfect interim solution for patients with periodontally weak or mobile teeth.

New Concept in Partial Design• unique combination of a hard acrylic base
fused with a soft retainer made of elasticmaterial
• portion of buccal flange replaced with a bandof soft silicone material
• slightly elongated openings in this soft bandreceive at lease two successive existing teethretaining the partial by employing naturalundercuts in remining teeth or vestibule
Wide Range of Applications• ideal substitute for many comparable
partials with clasps, allows conversion ofstandard wrought wire prostheses
• cast clasps and rests can be incorporatedinto certain designs where healthy teeth cansupport them
Gently Restores Function• elastomeric band stretches over buccal of
teeth without undue pressure
• flexes affording torque during mastication
• tensile strength of material ensures long-term retention even after repeated dailyinsertion and removal
• offers tremendous improvement in comfort,fit and bite
Preserves Natural Dentition• cushions and splints remaining natural teeth
from solid impact
• improves prognosis for loose, mobile,isolated, elongated or periodontally involveddentition
Superior Esthetics• translucent band material is barely visible at
the gingival margin and blends with theacrylic base material
• restores beautiful, natural-looking gum lineto patients suffering from severe periodontalresorption
Easily Upgradable• concept allows low-cost add-ons, repairs
and relines
• addition of denture tooth quickly remediessubsequent loss of a natural dentition
