VERSACRYL Gasket Clasp

The denture is constructed with conventional pink denture acrylic, except in the area around the chosen abutment tooth, where a ring of VERSACRYL is incorporated. Depending on the amount of undercut present, this ring should measure at least 3 mm wide and needs to be layered from a very soft to a harder rigidity of VERSACRYL.

To insert the partial denture, the patient runs hot tap water on the the gasket clasp for 20 seconds and then without delay, places the denture in the mouth and uses finger pressure to push the denture into place. Never use opposing teeth to bite the denture in place. The partial denture is now lodged around the abutment tooth. To remove, the patient rinses warm water around the clasp area in the mouth, and then immediately removes the denture.
