FAQ's
Can I prescribe a full denture made from Unbreakable™ or iFlex™?
No, Unbreakable™ and iFlex™ are designed specifically for flexible partial dentures. For full dentures, prescribe Karadent™.
Are TCS thermoplastic resins FDA-cleared and CE-marked?
Yes.
Are TCS partials recommended for immediate cases?
For a permanent solution, an 8 to 10-week healing period is recommended before prescribing a TCS appliance. However, if used as a temporary solution, this waiting period is unnecessary.
How long does a TCS appliance last?
TCS appliances are designed to last a lifetime. Over time, natural changes in the patient’s mouth may occur, but in most cases, adjustments can be made rather than replacing the appliance.
Do abutment teeth require preparation for TCS partials?
No tooth preparation is needed. TCS partials utilize tissue undercuts and portions of abutment teeth for retention. However, preparation may be necessary for rest seats and combination cases.
Can additional teeth or clasps be added to a TCS partial?
Yes, teeth and/or clasps can be added, but this is a laboratory procedure.
Can TCS partials be relined? Can it be done chairside?
Relining is a laboratory procedure. If a full reline is required, the case is usually transferred to a new base.
What tools are needed to adjust TCS restorations?
- Unbreakable™ – Pink Zirconia Burs, Green Mounted Stones, and Brown Rubber Points.
- iFlex™ – Pink Zirconia Burs, any Carbide Bur (including those used for acrylic), and Brown Rubber Points.
- Karadent™ – Pink Zirconia Burs, any Carbide Bur, and Green Mounted Stones. Karadent™ can also be adjusted using traditional acrylic techniques.
What instructions should I give my patients for caring for their TCS appliance?
Free patient educational brochures and a complimentary TCS Concentrated Dental Appliance Cleaner (1-week sample) are provided with every TCS appliance from your lab.
Can patients wear their appliance while sleeping?
Although patients can sleep with their appliance, it is best practice to remove it at night for proper oral hygiene. Some appliance designs may not be recommended for overnight wear—advise patients accordingly.
How should patients remove stains from their appliance?
For stubborn stains, soak the appliance in a denture cleansing solution overnight. Avoid brushing with abrasives, as this may damage the surface.
Can patients use vinegar, bleach, or baking soda to clean their appliance?
No, these harsh substances can cause discoloration and create micro-tears where bacteria can accumulate.
What temperature should patients use to soak their appliance?
Room temperature is best. While warm water can help dissolve cleaning solutions, boiling water should never be used, as it may warp the appliance.
Can patients use TCS Dental Appliance Cleaner on their natural teeth?
No, this cleaner is meant only for removable dental appliances.
Can patients use more cleaner than recommended?
While using extra cleaner won’t damage the appliance, it is unnecessary due to its concentrated formula.
Does the prepared TCS Dental Appliance Cleaner solution really last for 7 days?
Yes, the formula is designed to remain effective for a full week. To maintain its cleanliness, patients should rinse their appliance before submerging it in the solution.
How long can patients soak their appliance in the TCS cleaner?
Most appliances can remain submerged when not in use. However, soft liners and some guards should only be soaked for about 15 minutes.
How does TCS Dental Appliance Cleaner compare to other products?
Unlike some commercial cleansers, TCS does not contain harsh chemicals or chlorine. It is a professional-strength cleaner free from unnecessary fillers that could reduce effectiveness.
How do I know if I received a genuine TCS restoration?
To ensure authenticity, check that:
- The appliance arrives in a TCS-branded plastic bag
- A TCS patient care pamphlet and a sample of TCS Concentrated Dental Appliance Cleaner are included
- The TCS brand name appears on the lab bill
If these items are missing, confirm with the lab that genuine TCS materials were used.
Why didn’t my patient’s appliance come with a cleaner sample or care instructions?
Check if the lab used a TCS brand material and verify that it is indicated on the bill. If the lab cannot provide the cleaner sample and pamphlet, it may not be a genuine TCS product or may have been fabricated outside the USA.

What is the difference between Unbreakable™ and iFlex™?
While both materials are used for flexible partials, there are key differences:
- Unbreakable™– Nylon-based, highly durable, and proven for over 60 years. Adjusting requires specialty tools.
- iFlex™– Launched in 2012, polyolefin-based, slightly more translucent, and easier to adjust. Offers slightly more flexibility depending on design and thickness.
Both provide aesthetics, functionality, and comfort—the choice comes down to clinician and technician preference.
