OnCore's Ultra Suction is a unique system designed to improve retention and provide stabilisation in upper and lower dentures. The Ultra Suction is a one-way valve system easily placed on the linguals of the upper or lower denture, connected to an air chamber that is created by a bar placed on the models prior to processing. Dentists do not need to perform any additional steps beyond taking usual final impressions and no surgery is needed. The laboratory installs the device into the denture during fabrication.

When the patient bites down on their dentures, air is expelled through the one-way valve creating suction in the chamber. The patient must be educated to keep the chamber and one-way valves clean and free of debris to ensure the device functions properly.

A network of around 70 UK dental laboratories is now offering an UltraSuction denture service.
