High-impact dentures are made with high-impact acrylic, which have an extremely low shrinkage, enabling the fabrication of denture bases featuring superior and high accuracy in both their improved fit, precision and natural look. These dentures are not only durable and tough which are highly resistant to breakage but are also non-porous making the material easier to maintain, and last longer. Some high impact acrylic dentures are also rated as clinically unbreakable as they are made of nano-sized molecules which are encapsulated to add to their impact absorption. This means that any force from a direct impact is absorbed and dissipated which makes the damage limited.
High impact acrylic dentures are also highly flexible and can be made to fit unique colors, shapes and designs. They offer an optimum solution for the patients as they are very comfortable to wear because of its excellent fit, dimensional stability and surface finish which are also safe to use in cases of allergic patients and guarantees a healthy oral environment.
Indications
- Acrylic resin for fabrication of fracture resistant dentures using the packing/pressing technique.
- Acrylic resin for fabrication of fracture resistant dentures using the injection technique.
Features of high impact acrylic dentures:
- Good flexural strength as well as good flowability
- Accurate and precise fit and guaranteed high quality results
- Excellent mechanical properties and bonding to the artificial teeth
- Optimal mucosa compatibility, due to less residual monomer
- Physiological shades and absolute color stability
- Very high impact strength than conventional acrylic denture and flexible denture
How can they offer help to seniors?
High impact acrylic dentures are also useful and can serve the dental needs of seniors. They can be the best choice for aging seniors due to the following ways:
Flexibility and Comfort :
These high impact dentures are much more comfortable to wear. High impact acrylic denture base is customized using heat cure resins, and each denture can be created with a unique color and design technique.
Durability:
These dentures are highly durable due to which seniors can enjoy improved dental health for a longer period of time. They won’t have to worry about dropping the denture or getting the device damaged by porosity.
Safety:
Seniors can be at risk of injuries, such as falls, slips or other high impact collisions. With a regular denture, the falls and collision can result in breakage and injury to seniors. However, high impact acrylic can improve the safety of seniors by absorbing such impact without breaking and keep seniors safe.
Cost savings:
High impact acrylic dentures are basically an investment. Once you purchase them, you don’t have to worry about the risk of any kind of breakage or any other forms of damage for a longer time. Therefore, it is easier for seniors to save on repair costs.
