Monomer-Free FLEXIBLEDENTURE Material
Biocompatible PolyamideCad/Cam Disc
Hypoallergenic · Monomer-Free · 5 Pink Tones + Clear · 98.5 mm · 20–30 mm
The FLEXIBLEDENTURE, Milled In One Cycle
VITROFLEX is medical-grade thermoplastic polyamide pressed into 98.5 mm Cad/Cam blanks for open-system dental laboratories. Monomer-free, hypoallergenic, biocompatible nylon — the modern FLEXIBLEDENTURE material every lab pours into the boil-out flask, now in a digital workflow that mills clean, polishes glass-smooth and ships same-day.
This is the disc for the lab still running an injection unit on FLEXIBLE cases. One blank covers FLEXIBLE partials, full lower dentures, invisible thermoplastic clasps and unilateral partials — all on the milling machine you already own. No flask, no investment, no boil-out, no sprue cleanup. The aesthetic FLEXIBLE case that used to cost a half-day of bench time now nests, mills, polishes and goes out the door before lunch.
The Numbers That Matter
98
MPa Flexural Strength
Top of the polyamide range. Holds clasp retention through years of insertion-removal cycles.
0
% Residual Monomer
Monomer-free thermoplastic. The hypoallergenic answer for patients reactive to acrylic.
6
Stock Shades
Five gum-pink tones plus clear/translucent for invisible thermoplastic clasps.
3
Thickness Options
20, 25 and 30 mm — the three heights that cover 95% of FLEXIBLEDENTURE cases.
What Comes Off The Spindle
Three working examples from one blank — the same VITROFLEX disc covers the full FLEXIBLEDENTURE case mix from a single-tooth flipper to a full lower base.
Engineered For Comfort, Aesthetics And The Allergic Patient
Medical-Grade Thermoplastic PolyamideIndustrial-pressed nylon resin with consistent crystallinity. The same material family as injection-molded Valplast and Lucitone, now in a milling-ready 98.5 mm blank.
Zero Residual Monomer — HypoallergenicNo methacrylate residue, no monomer leaching. The patient who tested positive on MMA and walked out of three previous labs leaves with a DENTURE they can actually wear.
Up To 98 MPa Flexural StrengthTop of the polyamide range. Clasps recover their shape through thousands of insertion-removal cycles without taking a permanent set.
Low Elastic Modulus — Genuine Flexibility540–1600 MPa modulus — an order of magnitude lower than PMMA. The DENTURE flexes around undercuts and through the mouth without needing relief grinding.
Near-Zero Water SorptionHigh water repellency, low surface free energy. The base does not swell, does not change color in coffee or red wine, and resists nicotine staining far better than acrylic.
Non-Porous & Bacteria-ResistantCrystalline polyamide structure has no internal porosity for biofilm or candida to colonize. The DENTURE comes out of the polishing wheel sealed against odor and discoloration.
Mills Clean, Polishes Glass-SmoothStandard PMMA-similar toolpaths with slightly slower feeds. Surfaces come off the spindle smooth enough for direct rubber-wheel polish — no gross reduction stage.
Why Labs Switch Their FLEXIBLE Workflow To Milled
Cancel the injection-molding stationOne disc replaces the flask, the cartridge, the heater and the boil-out tank. Reclaim the bench space, kill the clean-up, ship the same week the impression hits the door.
Acrylic-allergic patients stop walking outMonomer-free polyamide takes MMA reactions out of the conversation. Hypoallergenic on the spec sheet means it on the chart and on the recall list.
Invisible clasps the patient actually shows offPink finger-clasps disappear into the gum line. Clear thermoplastic clasps disappear period. The metal-clasp objection that lost the case last quarter is no longer an objection.
Mills clean, polishes fast, ships same-dayNo flask cycle, no sprue cleanup, no flash trimming. Nest-to-deliver in hours. The math works on volume FLEXIBLE jobs the way it never worked with injection molding.
Open-standard 98.5 mmDrops into the open-system milling machine you already own. Same holder as your zirconia and PMMA Discs. No adapter, no firmware change.
Indications — Where The Blank Goes To Work
A working list of what VITROFLEX is engineered for. If your case is in this list, the disc covers it.
FLEXIBLE Partials
Non-metal-clasp partials with pink or clear thermoplastic finger-clasps. The aesthetic alternative to chrome-cobalt.
Full Lower & Upper Dentures
Complete DENTURE bases for patients with severe undercuts or knife-edge ridges where rigid bases cannot seat.
Unilateral Flippers
Single-tooth aesthetic provisionals for the implant healing phase. Comfortable enough for all-day wear.
Allergy-Patient Cases
The MMA-reactive patient, the nickel-reactive patient, the multi-failed-DENTURE patient. Monomer-free is the whole answer.
Microstomia Prosthetics
Limited-opening cases where a rigid DENTURE cannot insert. The flexibility lets the prosthesis fold for placement.
Combination Cases
FLEXIBLE saddles paired with cast or milled metal frameworks for complex partial designs that need both load capacity and aesthetics.
What Separates VITROFLEX From The Cheap FLEXIBLE Pucks
Most of what gets sold as "FLEXIBLEDENTURE disc" on the import market is industrial nylon pressed into a dental-shaped blank. The data sheet shows the right polymer family. The case file shows what actually happens after twelve months in the mouth: dimensional creep at the saddle border, color shift toward gray, surface roughness that grabs every coffee stain in the cup. VITROFLEX is medical-grade base resin pressed under controlled-crystallinity industrial conditions, certified for long-term oral contact, specified to up to 98 MPa flexural strength at the top of the polyamide range and validated through the milling characteristics dental labs actually need.
This is the disc that lets a five-station lab cancel its FLEXIBLE injection account and bring the workflow back in-house without giving up the aesthetic outcome. It mills cleaner than cheap flex pucks, polishes faster, and survives longer in the mouth. Stock the blank the lab next door wishes they had ordered — pull the FLEXIBLE margin back across your bench.
VITROFLEX Vs. The Alternatives
Three FLEXIBLE-DENTURE pathways, three honest profiles. The lab manager already knows the one in the middle.
Injection-Molded Nylon
Flask, cartridge, heater, boil-out
Half-day per case bench time
Sprue cleanup & flash trimming
Shrinkage variance batch-to-batch
Higher water sorption than milled
No digital workflow
Generic Imported Flex Disc
Industrial-grade nylon, not medical
Inconsistent crystallinity
Color shift after 12 months
Higher surface roughness, stains fast
Variable milling behavior
Limited shade range
VITROFLEX Medical-Grade
Medical-grade biocompatible polyamide
Up to 98 MPa flexural strength
Zero residual monomer — hypoallergenic
5 pink tones + clear, 3 thicknesses
Mills clean on PMMA-similar toolpaths
