Unfortunately, not all people keep their teeth in order throughout their lives. Most people have to deal with their loss sooner or later. Of course, the loss is best compensated by dental implants, but we cannot exclude the fact that some still wear partially removable or completely removable devices. In this case, you have to constantly think about ensuring that they fulfill their aesthetic and functional purpose for as long as possible. And special care products help with this. The editors of UltraSmile.ru decided to talk about one of them today. We are talking about Corega, but not about a cream for fixing dentures, but about tablets.
Corega tablets
The principle of action of Corega tablets
If a person has chosen to restore his smile with the help of dentures, then he must understand that the devices simply need to provide daily care and cleaning. Otherwise, you will have to say goodbye to them very soon. Brushing with a denture brush is not at all sufficient; these are not real teeth. And using ordinary toothpastes is completely dangerous - the abrasive particles contained in them can cause damage to artificial teeth.
Corega tablets are a fairly popular Irish product. In addition to the Corega brand, the manufacturer also produces equally well-known and fairly high-quality drugs and products: Solpadeine, Parodontax, Aquafresh. Cleansing tablets are perfect for those people who are looking for a suitable and fairly budget-friendly product for the daily care of their dentures. One package costs about 300 rubles, it contains 30 tablets, which are enough for a little more than two weeks of use (1 tablet twice a day).
One such tablet contains many substances: carbonates and bicarbonates, citric acid and peppermint extract, enzymes and oxidizing agents, lauryl sulfoacetate and sodium benzoate. And in order to correctly use Corega tablets for cleaning dentures, you must first carefully read the instructions. It states the following:
- First of all, remove the artificial teeth from your mouth,
- rid the denture of pieces and food debris using a regular toothbrush with soft bristles,
- pour warm boiled water into a specially prepared glass or any other container,
- dissolve one Korega denture cleaning tablet in water: due to the presence of various carbonates and bicarbonates in its composition, dissolution will occur very quickly. In just a minute you can begin immersing the prosthesis in the solution,
- note the time: keep the device in the solution for at least three minutes, the maximum period is no more than 8 hours. To achieve the most positive result, wait 15 minutes, after which you can brush the denture again,
- rinse the removable device with running water: otherwise, you may experience irritation of the mucous membrane or allergic reactions to the composition of the drug,
- Be sure to drain the used solution.
Corega tablets should be used for dentures strictly according to the instructions. It states that you should always prepare a fresh solution and use it for its intended purpose immediately after preparation. If the drug is sealed, it can be stored for up to three years. But this does not mean that you need to neglect the established rules and try to clean removable devices in the “old” solution several times in a row to save money.
Operating principle
If you do everything correctly, you can count on the fact that the dentures will be protected from many troubles throughout their entire service life. After all, tablets have a lot of positive properties, which you can read about below.
Composition of the drug
The product is available in the form of effervescent tablets in a cell package of six pieces for preparing a solution. The cream is used for extra-strong fixation of dentures. It is packaged in 40 ml tubes.
The medication is in a cardboard package along with instructions for use. The composition of the tablets is represented by the following components:
- blue dye;
- polymethylsiloxane;
- peppermint essential oil;
- polyethylene glycol;
- enzymes of the proteolytic group;
- potassium monopersulfate;
- sodium carbonate;
- tetracetylethylenediamine;
- sodium lauryl sulfoacetate;
- lemon acid;
- sodium perborate;
- sodium bicarbonate and benzoate.
Using Corega tablets twice a day allows you to remove stains from dentures that arise from eating or smoking. They have a disinfectant and antibacterial effect on the oral cavity, helping to prevent plaque and gum inflammation.
Disinfected
Despite the fact that people who use removable appliances have little or no natural teeth in their mouths, bacteria continue to accumulate in equally large quantities. Only the main goal for them will no longer be teeth, but gums and mucous membranes. And “Korega” in the form of tablets for cleaning dentures, as the instructions say, copes well with this problem. At least, if you use the prepared solution correctly (not expired, fresh, and immediately discard it after the procedure), then you don’t have to worry about the prosthesis becoming a “breeding ground” for pathogens.
Disinfection
High quality cleaning
Do you agree that even with our natural teeth in our mouths, we have to resort to various tricks to get rid of the smallest remnants of food and plaque? After all, a toothbrush and paste are not at all enough for high-quality cleansing of the oral cavity; here you need to additionally use an irrigator, floss, rinses, and visit the dentist for the purpose of professional hygiene. In the case of dentures, the situation is identical; a brush is not enough; other means are needed to care for them. For example, “Korega” will clean the device and all its elements even in the most inaccessible places. Tablets for cleaning dentures will also cope with bacterial plaque.
And by the way, do not forget that owners of removable devices need to undergo preventive examinations at the dentist with the same frequency as those who do not wear them. In some cases, this needs to be done much more often - any removable denture sooner or later needs correction or relining, because the bone tissue underneath is quite actively atrophying, as a result of which an unsightly gap is formed between the gum and the denture.
Remove stains and whiten
The completely natural desire of people to have a snow-white smile often turns into a tragedy for those with “unnatural” teeth. After all, artificial material, unlike enamel, is more susceptible to the effects of coloring pigments. Cracks are more likely to form on it, and smoothness and natural shine are lost. But this nuisance will not bother those who use Corega on a regular basis. The tablets will help get rid of unsightly shades and eliminate stains from tea, coffee and wine. Smokers can also expect their dentures to be in good condition.
High quality cleaning
Corega tablets come in two types: “Bio Formula” and “Whitening”. The first ones are suitable for daily care. The second ones are more powerful, they can be used to improve the external characteristics of the prosthesis and get rid of the most severe dirt and pigmentation.
Helps prevent gum disease
Wearing removable dentures is always associated with some inconveniences; first of all, they can cause irritation, injury and chafing of the mucous membrane. As a result, this will lead to the occurrence of various inflammatory processes. The most relatively harmless of them is stomatitis, when various ulcers appear in the mouth and the tongue hurts. All this gives a person a lot of anxiety.
Tongue hurts
But there are problems that are much more serious, for example, periodontal disease. This disease is associated with inflammation and destruction of the bone structures of the teeth. For those who still have some retained teeth in their mouth, this threatens their rapid loss. For those who suffer from complete edentia, subsequent implantation without the use of bone grafting becomes impossible. And this delays the time for returning to a full life.
So, Corega tablets remove about 99% of all bacteria in the mouth, so the chance of getting an inflammatory process in people using this product is reduced to zero.
Instructions for use
Tablets are used to prepare a solution. One tablet is required for one glass of warm water. A thoroughly cleaned prosthesis is placed in the prepared solution for 15-20 minutes for sterilization. If there is a need, then it is left overnight. After removal from the solution, it is washed in filter water and dried well.
If a person is incompatible with the components of the drug, then adverse reactions may occur. These include the following symptoms:
- the appearance of allergies;
- increased salivation;
- vomit;
- change in taste sensations;
- feeling of burning and irritation.
If you use the tablets as recommended, they should not cause side effects. If the remaining solution is not thoroughly washed off, this can lead to a feeling of irritation and burning at the site where the structure adheres to the gum. The sense of taste may also change, hyperemia and itching may appear.
Extend the life of the device
This is a very important factor for those who by chance wear removable devices. On average, as dentists emphasize, a prosthesis can last about 5 years. But this is provided that you take good care of it throughout its entire service life. Basically, artificial teeth can become unusable after 2-3 years due to the fact that they have acquired an unsightly shade, become dirty, oxidized under the influence of bacteria, cause pain and unpleasant sensations, are out of order, broken, and so on. So, in order to prevent at least the first four points, you need to take care of them according to all the rules.
Of course, removable devices, no matter how well you take care of them, will have to be replaced after a maximum of 5 years, but this will have to be done because bone tissue subsides underneath them. And, in general, Corega tablets will help you avoid premature replacement, and will also protect you from inflammatory processes in the gums, which can directly affect your health.

Types of coreg creams for dentures
The manufacturer took into account all the wishes of its customers, so it produced 3 types of cream: neutral, extra strong and refreshing. Each of them has a direct effect on the denture, contributing to high-quality and reliable adhesion for a long time.
Neutral taste
The neutral cream contains no special additives, so it does not change the taste of food. A characteristic advantage of this product is that zinc was not used in its manufacture, which is required for high-quality fixation. This component is replaced by gum arabic. This is a special resin of natural origin.
Extra strong coreg gel for dentures
But when developing an extra strong cream, the following composition was used:
- methyl vanyl ether maleic acid salt;
- gum;
- petrolatum;
- silicon;
- paraffin (liquid);
- menthol;
- flavorings;
- menthyl lactate;
- dyes.
The cream also contains gum arabic, which ensures maximum adhesion of the structure to the gums. The active ingredients in this product are used in double concentration. Thanks to them, it is possible to securely and permanently secure the denture, without harm to health and without affecting well-being. When wearing such a prosthesis, a person does not feel discomfort.
The mineral oils present in the product give the corega cream a pleasant elasticity. Thus, it is distributed evenly over the surface and fills all the gaps. The presence of dyes is explained so that the cream takes on a pale pink color, imitating the shade of gums. If you apply the fixing agent carelessly, it may be noticeable to others.
Refreshing taste
The presented product is intended for sensitive people. It is characterized by the fact that it does not contain zinc, which makes it completely safe to use. This is important for those who take dietary supplements containing this substance every day. If zinc was also included in the fixing agent, then after some time its concentration in the body would increase, which would lead to a deterioration in overall health.
In addition, every day people consume food and products through which the body is saturated with these elements. When its amount is increased, the patient develops unpleasant neurological symptoms such as trembling and numbness.
Taking into account the wishes of customers, Corega manufacturers began to produce the cream in two variations: with zinc and without zinc for those who take nutritional and mineral supplements.
If you apply the cream correctly and follow the instructions for use, then zinc will not enter the body, much less accumulate in it. The cream is made in such a way that the substances present in the composition do not enter the lymph. Harmful components will only enter if the fixative is swallowed by a person.
Taking into account which cream has been chosen, during development, ingredients may be added to its composition to give the product taste and smell. As a rule, these are mint and menthol components. The functional properties of the product do not depend on them, but at the same time they change its taste and can be chosen only according to personal desire.
