CLEAR FRAME

 ClearFrame® is designed like a traditional cast metal partial but the denture acrylic is built on a clear nylon

framework in place of a chrome cobalt partial. The frame and clasps are semi-rigid and transparent.

Rest seats provide the partial with the vertical stability doctors desire without compromising the lifelike

esthetics that today’s patients prefer. ClearFrame is indicated for most partial applications. Patients will

appreciate the precise fit, comfortable function and metal free esthetics.

 Metal free esthetics and increased patient comfort

 Vertical stability with occlusal stops

 Can reline, repair and polish acrylic saddles chairside

 Less expensive than traditional metal partials

 Hygienic, will not absorb stains or odors

 No Metal Taste

 Most Cast Partial indications

 Free end saddles

 Flat Ridge

 Few Remaining Teeth

 Class II or Class III mobile teeth

 Short clinical crown length or lack of adequate undercut

 Acrylic allergies

ClearFrame is made from a state-of-the-art injection-molded nylon material that is strong and non porous

yet as easy to adjust and re-polish as conventional acrylic. The clasps work in the same manner as on a
 metal framework, engaging undercut on the buccal or labial of the patient’s teeth. The partial does not

contain Bisphenol A.

TECHNIQUE FOR ADDING A PRE-FABRICATED

CLASP
(FLEXITE CLASP-EZE)

The need for a quick means to add an esthetic clasp is apparent in todays society.
Television has broadened our sensitivity to appearances and increased the demand for
esthetics. Many patients object to unsightly metal clasps but have to accept them because
they cannot afford the high cost of fixed bridges. Prefabricated clasps may be the answer.
Injection molded plastics are unique and far superior to conventional acrylics. They have
greater flexural and tensile strength and are now available for clasps and partials. The clasp
demonstrated is a Flexite Supreme nylon co-polymer thermoplastic which we call Flexite
Clasp-Eze.

Required Components

Prefabricated clasp (Clasp-Eze), #221 Aron Alpha (bonding agent for nylon), Heat source
(Electric heat gun or a small pinpoint flame), self cure acrylic powder (Flexite Rapid Set),
 self cure monomer and two dappen dishes.

Note: Clasps are fabricated in one size. The tail pieces are spaced at different intervals and
are utilized according to the size of the tooth. Example: The first tail piece would be cut off
if the circumference of the tooth was bigger than normal and the second tail piece would be
used.

to strip an entire saddle, just a single tooth on some repairs.

FIGURE 2
 A Clear prefabricated clasp was selected for the demonstration. (Tooth color clasps
are also available) The Flexite heat gun will soften the nylon clasp without blistering.
A small flame may be used but requires more caution.

FIGURE 3

Heat clasp by brushing up and back until the clasp begins to soften and goes limp. A
good tip is to hold it against the flat side of the bench so the flow of air is concentrated
and not lost. When flaming use top of bench as usual. When softened, place tip
intointerproximal and bend toward distal. Tack tail section with wax so a plaster or
stone matrix can be made on buccal. This will free up your other hand for postioning
 the tail piece section.

FIGURE 4

Cut off the part of the clasp you are not using. Dovetail, shape and taper clasp. A
properly tapered clasp will never lose memory and enhances retention.

FIGURE 5

#221 has a thin viscosity and dries quickly.

FINAL NOTE:

When adding Clasp-Eze to a metal frame, be sure to cut out the mesh behind the tooth
you are clasping so the shoulder of the clasp fully lays up against the proximal wall of
the abutement tooth.
