Top 10 Denture Material Miscellaneous
1. Patterson® Mouthguard EVA Material – Vacuum Forming
Patterson® Mouthguard EVA MaterialIdeal for mouthguards, nightguards and model duplication.
- Soft EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) material for energy absorption
- Available in three thicknesses
- BPA free
- Made in the USA
- Not made with natural rubber latex
- Our manufacturer has informed us that Bisphenol A (BPA) is not added intentionally to this product, but the product is not routinely tested for the presence of BPA
2. Pro-form Niteguard Laminates
This laminated or layered soft material was made specifically for nighttime bruxers. The layering gives the thermoplastic a more abrasion-resistant characteristic that will withstand grinding better than traditional soft sheet material.
- 2 layers of EVA – one dense and one softer
- 5″x5″ laminated sheets
- 30% denser mouthguards
3. Pro-form Mouthguard Laminates – Keystone Industries
Pro-Form vaccum forming mouthgaurd material is the only pre-made laminated mouthguard material in the industry.
- Leader in custom-made mouthguards
- By laminating 2 layers of soft EVA together, the laminate has an excellent tensile strength
4. Buffalo Mouthguard Material
High quality 5″ x 5” sheet thermoplastic materials for creating a wide range of vacuum-formed appliances and trays.
- Pure grade resin sheets are latex-free and uniform in size, cut and thickness for improved performance
- Resist bubbling, crazing, and fracturing to promote superior adaptations every time
- Packages include desiccant packets to resist moisture contamination
- Clear soft Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) sheets designed to bond together for build-up and lamination of custom mouthguards
5. Mouthguard Material – Buffalo Dental Manufacturing Co
High quality 5″ x 5” sheet thermoplastic materials for creating a wide range of vacuum-formed appliances and trays.
- Pure grade resin sheets are latex-free and uniform in size, cut and thickness for improved performance
- Resists bubbling, crazing, and fracturing to promote superior adaptations every time
- Packages include desiccant packets to resist moisture contamination
- Colored soft Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) sheets designed to bond together for build-up and lamination of custom mouthguards
