Redefining Flexible Partial Dentures
With Carbon’s FP3D resin, dental labs can now deliver to clinicians like you flexible partials through a modern digital workflow—even when starting from your traditional impressions. Once a flexible partial is digitized, it can be updated or reprinted from the archived design if lost or damaged. This streamlined process saves time and reduces complexity to keep patients smiling.

Partials made from FP3D aren’t just beautiful, they are stronger, thinner and more comfortable than hand-processed flexible partials.
Conrad J Rensburg
“I’ve used a number of flexible materials. This one was a great one. There’s a lot of translucency to it. We didn’t have any shredding. It wasn’t gumming up. It just kind of brushed away.”
