R. Scott Clark, President of DAL Dental Arts Laboratories, Inc, on Zirlux Acetal from Zahn Dental
DAL Dental Arts Laboratories, Inc,is a family-owned group with a philosophy based on providing complete laboratory services in all phases of dentistry, focusing on premium product offerings supported by personalized service and attention to detail. As we began to move toward digital design and fabrication for full and partial dentures, we sought a material to provide more esthetic value, durability for long-term performance, and patient comfort for our DAL Second Nature Partial Dentures line. This led us to Zirlux Acetal, a millable thermoplastic material well suited for a wide variety of removable appliances.
How is this better than traditional flexible partials?
These partials are toothborne, designed to be primarily
supported by existing
dentition.
How does it benefit the patient?
It provides a highly esthetic, durable, fatigue-resistant,
metal-free, and toothborne alternative to metal
frameworks.
What feedback have you received?
The response has been extremely positive, as existing customers continue to prescribe this
product and our customer
base grows.
