More than half of those who wear removable dentures, the main problem of their use is considered unreliable fixation, which is the cause of the mobility of the prosthesis during eating, talking or laughing. To improve the reliability of the prosthesis attachment in the mouth, several types of products (creams, adhesives, gels) have been developed for gluing the removable base to the soft tissues of the palate and alveolar process.
Creams to improve fixation are most often used when using prostheses made of nylon or acrylic plastic. Fixing means are also used when carrying temporary removable structures. Well-made removable byugelny designs, as well as removable dentures based on implants do not need additional fixation.
Fixing gel for dentures is practically no different from the cream in its functions, but they are different in consistency. Cream - more dense. Cream for fixing dentures is better suited to those who use removable dentures for the first time. The cream is more difficult to apply too much, and an excess of funds will not allow reliably fix the prosthesis.

How to choose a cream for fixing dentures
Almost all means for fixation have the same properties and composition, so when choosing a cream you should pay attention to the patient's individual sensations. A well-chosen cream should firmly fix the prosthesis, preventing it from moving while talking and eating, protect the mucosa from rubbing and pressing the base of the prosthesis, do not allow food particles to penetrate the orthopedic construction and not cause allergies in a particular person.
Rules for using fixative cream
Even the best denture cream will not provide a secure fit if applied incorrectly. In order to properly apply a cream for fixing prostheses, it is necessary to strictly adhere to several rules:
- The prosthesis should be clean and dry - before applying the agent, it should be cleaned with a regular paste or a special agent and wiped dry with a soft cloth.
- The cream is applied strictly along the lines indicated in the instructions, and the use of a fixing composition should begin with a minimum amount. A large amount of cream applied to the base of the prosthesis will break the fixation strength.
- The gum should be rinsed and wiped with a napkin before putting on the prosthesis.
- Wearing a removable design tightly pressed to the surface of the alveolar process for at least 20 seconds.
- Once the prosthesis is fixed, do not eat, drink and talk for 10-15 minutes.
- Having removed the structure from the oral cavity, it must be thoroughly cleaned of residues of the fixative composition.
- You can not use the cream more than once a day, and its quantity should not exceed the recommended. Otherwise, there is the possibility of the development of neurological diseases, triggered by the use of large amounts of zinc, which is part of the fixing means.
