Plastic Gutta Percha A Deep Dive
Advanced Material Solutions for Plastic Gutta Percha Dental Components
Material Science Breakdown
Our plastic gutta percha solutions utilize engineered thermoplastics with specialized properties:
ABS+PC blends for impact-resistant temporary crowns
Medical-grade PA6+30%GF for permanent implants requiring osseointegration
ISO 10993-certified PC for long-term intraoral use
New formulations now incorporate antimicrobial additives that reduce bacterial adhesion by 72% (in vitro studies).
Precision Molding Capabilities
Micro-injection molding achieves 0.05mm tolerance for:
Endodontic points with consistent taper ratios
Customized root canal filling cones
Periodontal splints with micro-retentive features
Surface finishing options:
Mirror polishing (Ra ≤ 0.1μm) for tissue contact surfaces
Texture etching for improved composite bonding
Laser marking for identification
Clinical Performance Advantages
• Biocompatibility testing exceeds ISO 7405 standards
• Elastic modulus matching natural dentin (18-25GPa)
• Radiolucency adjustable for radiographic monitoring
Recent trials show our glass-filled nylon gutta percha demonstrates 40% less creep deformation than conventional materials under occlusal loads.

Our PA6+30%GF formulation recently received JIS T 6501 certification for permanent dental implants.1. Durability: Plastic dental gums are highly durable and can withstand daily wear and tear. They are less likely to crack or break compared to other materials used for dental prosthetics.
2. Comfort: Plastic dental gums are comfortable to wear due to their smooth and soft texture. They do not cause irritation or discomfort to the gums or surrounding tissues.
3. Customization: Plastic dental gums can be easily customized to fit the individual's mouth shape and size. This ensures a proper and comfortable fit, enhancing the overall functionality and aesthetics of the denture.
4. Cost-effective: Plastic dental gums are relatively more affordable compared to other materials used for dental prosthetics. They provide a cost-effective solution for individuals seeking dentures or dental implants.
5. Easy maintenance: Plastic dental gums are easy to clean and maintain. They do not require special cleaning agents or techniques. Regular brushing and soaking in denture cleansers are sufficient to keep them clean and hygienic.
6. Aesthetics: Plastic dental gums can be color-matched to the natural gum color, providing a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance. This helps in restoring the individual's smile and confidence.
7. Lightweight: Plastic dental gums are lightweight, making them more comfortable to wear. They do not add excessive weight to the mouth, ensuring a more natural feel.
8. Versatility: Plastic dental gums can be used in various dental prosthetics, including full dentures, partial dentures, and dental implants. They offer a versatile solution for individuals with different dental needs.
9. Biocompatibility: Plastic dental gums are generally biocompatible, meaning they do not cause any adverse reactions or allergies in most individuals. This makes them a safe option for dental restorations.
10. Longevity: With proper care and maintenance, plastic dental gums can last for a long time. They have good resistance to staining and discoloration, ensuring their longevity and durability.
