Cream Protefix - high-quality and reliable fixation of dentures

Dental prosthetics is a fairly popular method of artificial restoration of the dentition.

The procedure involves both the installation of a single structure, a replacement organ, and devices that can take on the functions of several lost teeth at once.

Different in material of manufacture, external design and method of fastening, the models are considered one of the most durable, reliable and easy-to-use products.

They have a minimum of installation restrictions, qualitatively restore the integrity of the jaw row, and make the oral cavity almost perfect.

General information

Protefix is ​​a world-famous product from German manufacturers of a professional line for the care of prosthetic structures. The drug does not pose any danger to human health and is considered a means of increased fixation.

Thanks to its high adhesive force, it ensures complete immobility of the prosthesis, preventing even the slightest mixing, while the period of action is quite long.

Due to the specific consistency of the cream, a targeted dosage of the cream is observed, which eliminates its overuse.

Manufacturer information

Protefix denture cream is a product of the German corporation Queisser Pharma. The company appeared on the Russian market in 1996. Today in Russia it represents products of three brands: vitamin and mineral complexes Doppelherz (“Doppelherz”), products for the comfortable use of prostheses Protefix (“Protefix”), a drug for restoring tissue metabolism and for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency Aescusan (“Eskuzan”) . Management states that the company's main goal is constant concern for the health and well-being of consumers.

Compound

All components, both basic and constituent, are natural and safe substances that, in addition to their main function, reliably protect the mucous membrane.

70% of the drug consists of:

• sodium and calcium salts – the base part of the cream, which effectively absorbs large volumes of liquid substances;
• carboxymethylcellulose - used as a component that provides increased viscosity.

Protefix includes additional compounds:

• Vaseline and paraffin - act as a softener for the mucous membrane, while simultaneously moisturizing it;
• silicon dioxide – makes the product homogeneous, promotes its uniform distribution;
• menthol - a flavored fragrance with a mild surface anesthesia effect;
• Azorubine is a natural coloring pigment;
• Hydroxybenzoate – antimicrobial antiseptic;
• aloe – gives a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect.

pharmachologic effect

The cream reliably fixes the denture by filling with its composition the entire space surrounding the device and the surrounding gum area.

Thanks to the cream, the possibility of fragmentary penetration of food into the product is completely excluded. In addition, the risk of possible mechanical impact that can lead to injury to the mucous membrane is minimized; it soothes and neutralizes irritation of the soft tissues of the oral cavity.

How safe are the creams?

Remember that any tooth cream contains many chemical compounds. Not all of them are neutral and harmless. During use, some amount will be ingested regularly. What this will lead to is unknown. Side effects include:

• Allergy;
• Nausea, vomiting, heaviness in the stomach;
• Impaired sense of taste;
• Headache;
• Increased salivation.

The very first site with reviews showed that unpleasant consequences are not uncommon, and there are many more side effects. For example, one person developed a persistent cough, another complained of a sore throat. Problems with the gastrointestinal tract, judging by the comments, are a common occurrence. We'd be happy to say that only one specific product causes these problems, but there are complaints across multiple brands.

Some denture bonding creams contain zinc. If they are constantly swallowed, the negative consequences described above are possible, as well as numbness and tremors in the limbs. The risk of such troubles is especially high if your diet includes foods rich in zinc compounds.

Indications

The use of the fastener is shown:

• with copious secretion of salivary fluid;
• in case of incomplete shrinkage of the structure;
• with mechanical irritations that provoke chafing of the soft tissues of the gums and mucous cavity;
• as a method of temporary fastening of single artificial crowns.

Pills

The drug was created to effectively clean removable dental structures from plaque, tartar, food debris, as well as to destroy pathogens. The cleaning product is used at the rate of 1 tablet/100 ml of water, which should be at room temperature. The structure is pre-cleaned and lowered into a container with the prepared solution. It is necessary to ensure that the liquid completely covers the structure. If this does not happen, you can add more water, but not more than 50 ml.

The structure is kept in the solution for at least 15 minutes. After this, the prosthesis is removed and rinsed well under water pressure. The procedure is carried out daily.

Varieties

Taking into account the individual needs of users of the drug, its developers have released an entire product line of Protefix cream, each version of which incorporates unique components that are not similar to the analog product and is distinguished by pronounced specific properties.

Hypoallergenic

The cream completely excludes the presence of any components that can provoke allergies.

It contains no coloring pigments, aromatic fragrances or substances that enhance taste. The product is absolutely neutral, does not smell at all. Its presence in the mouth is almost invisible.

Specially designed for allergy sufferers, people with increased sensitivity of teeth and gums to external irritants, as well as those who use structures on an ongoing basis.

A package with a capacity of 47 g has an average price of 150 rubles per unit.

Aloe vera

Aloe vera is an ideal solution for those people who have severe oral problems, namely swelling, redness, sores, irritation and mechanical abrasions.

The extract of a famous plant included in the cream will effectively relieve inflammation and eliminate small wounds and damage to the mucous membrane.

And antibacterial properties will play a good role in preventing the development of dental diseases of periodontal and dentin tissues.

With its regular use, improvements in tissue regeneration processes are noted. Cost – 135 rubles per 40 ml.

With mint

The developers recommend its use in the initial stages of wearing structures as a means of making it easier to get used to them.

Peppermint oil not only softens soft tissues well, but is also characterized by many beneficial properties. This product strengthens the gums, qualitatively improves their trophic state, and provides gentle pain relief to inflamed segments of the oral cavity.

Reduces the urge to vomit, which may occur during the use of dentures, especially during the period of adaptation.

Price – 190 rubles per 47 grams.

Extra strong

It is characterized by a high content of a component responsible for the quality of adhesion of the structure to the natural organ.

Its dosage is the maximum limit in comparison with other types of cream from this manufacturer. Thanks to this, the device is quickly and reliably installed in the required place and is fixed efficiently.

The drug is recommended for use in situations where a person uses complete systems or when there is an urgent need to fix the product. A few minutes after applying the composition, you can drink and eat.

Cost – 120 rubles for a small package (20g).

What other products from Protefix will help fix dentures?

The Protefix brand produces not only a fixing cream for dentures, but also other products that can be used to securely secure removable dentures in the oral cavity:

• pads: recommended at the stage of getting used to wearing removable systems. Provide a good level of comfort to patients who have pronounced atrophy of the alveolar ridge and those who have age-related changes in the mucosa. Made from soft materials that protect gums from abrasion, injury, pressure and inflammatory processes,
• powder: suitable for those who have minor problems with the quality of fixation of the removable device. The powder is simply sprinkled on its surface, after which the structure is placed in the oral cavity and pressed tightly against the mucous membrane. If the quality of fixation weakens during the day, it is enough to repeat a simple algorithm of actions.

Advantages

Protefix has a number of advantages that distinguish it favorably from analog products from other manufacturers:

• neutral taste and smell;
• the ability to eat any food without the risk of dislodging the prosthesis;
• ease of use;
• budget cost;
• the penetration of product particles under the structure is completely excluded;
• resistance to temperature changes;
• long-term, about 12 hours, fixation;
• efficiency;
• no side effects;
• does not have a negative effect on the bite;
• It is possible to use both dry and moistened prostheses.

How to remove a denture from your mouth after using Protefix

Protefix is ​​a long-lasting fixing cream for dentures. When used correctly, the composition can “work” for up to 12 hours in a row. However, if necessary, “artificial teeth” can be removed from the mouth without much difficulty. How to do it? Rinse your mouth with warm water, grab the crowns of the denture with two fingers and begin to rock the structure from side to side.

Have you removed your denture from your mouth? Do not forget to provide him with thorough care, and also remove any remaining composition from the gums. Details in a specially prepared article on this topic: caring for dentures.

Flaws

The disadvantages of the product include:

• excessive water content, which results from sometimes premature breakdown of the fixative component of the product. The problem cannot but affect its effectiveness;
• if the dosage of the product is exceeded, it may cause irritation;
• the need to store strictly vertically, otherwise the drug may leak;
• with constant use, the cream can cause problems in the mucous walls of the stomach.

Instructions for use

A high-quality result from using the product will only be obtained if it is applied correctly and in strict compliance with the single dosage.

In addition, removing the device should also be carried out in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

The use of the product is carried out according to the following scheme:

• before applying the drug, the prosthesis must be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed under running water;
• Turn the wet structure with the fastening side up. Keep the tube in an upright position. Remove the first liquid drop;
• Apply the cream pointwise, in thin intermittent strips, from the middle of the device. Remove excess with a cotton swab soaked in olive or vegetable oil. If you need to fix the model better, the cream is squeezed onto the palatal area of ​​the device;
• The product with the product applied to it is placed in the desired place and pressed lightly.
  This is necessary for closer contact of the prosthesis with the gum. Fix the jaws in a compressed position for 20–30 seconds, then loosen the bite. Leave for 5–7 minutes. After this time, the structure is considered firmly fixed, and the person can behave as usual, that is, eat, drink, communicate;

After use, wipe the neck of the package dry and close the lid - this will protect the product from premature hardening. Store vertically.

Analogs

Analog tools:

• Lacalut – creates the thinnest possible layer between the gum and the device;
• Rocs - characterized by long fixation periods, a pleasant smell, and high-quality refreshment of the oral cavity;
• Corega – it is not recommended to use more than 2 times a day. Due to the wide neck, it is difficult to maintain the dosage of the product, which is considered a significant disadvantage of the product.

In what cases should it be used?

Of course, the quality of modern fixing agents is significantly superior to the popular examples of past years, but despite this, there are other, more technologically advanced types of fixation. They do not involve the use of cream at all. For example, additional fastening is not necessary if the patient wears dentures on implants. Provided that the design was made correctly in compliance with all standards, such prostheses will serve their wearer faithfully for several decades. Cream or other fixing compounds are not needed for this, and the likelihood of small particles of food or moisture getting under the prosthesis is zero.

Often, patients who have had a nylon structure installed resort to using a special cream. This is a very comfortable material that is difficult to distinguish visually from real gums. Nylon is able to recreate all the contours and structure of the human gum, but its fasteners require additional support. For this, doctors recommend using a fixing cream. Often, special plates in the form of thin suction cups are installed on the surface of such prostheses. They are made in such a way that it is convenient to apply the product to them.

Often, such a cream is also used to fasten structures made of plastic. The design of some models does not have special elements (suction cups) for fixation, and the base itself is made so that the prosthesis holds perfectly with the help of a fixing cream. Even if the structure fits perfectly in the oral cavity and does not fall out, doctors still recommend playing it safe and purchasing a means of fixation. Fortunately, there are many of them, so patients have a lot of choice. The main thing is not to fall for a fake, but to buy a quality product.
