ROCS cream for fixing dentures: what problems does it solve?

One of the main problems that people with removable dentures face is insufficiently secure fixation. Despite careful individual selection, the structure can move while chewing food, talking, or laughing. This occurs due to insufficient adherence of the inner surface of the denture to the gum.

The solution to the problem is the use of special fixing substances. Today, the range of these products is widely represented in the windows of pharmacies and supermarkets. The products are produced in the form of a cream or gel.

Television advertising promises an immediate and long-lasting effect, but the consumer has a lot of questions: what to choose and should you believe the advertising?

Question for a specialist
For people who wear removable dentures, today there is a wide range of fixing creams that help them feel more comfortable and confident in everyday life. However, choosing an option that meets the highest quality standards without studying detailed information about products in this category and without practical experience is quite difficult. That is why we continue to introduce you to the most famous and most effective means. This material is about ROCS cream

Manufacturer information

Rox cream is created by specialists from the group (DRC). This is a Russian-Swiss enterprise that has several large production sites and three research laboratories. The company creates cosmetics and medications, but it is most famous in the world for its oral care products – toothpastes and toothbrushes. In 2014, the ROCS brand received the seal of approval1 from the Russian Dental Association for high-quality toothbrushes for adults and children.

Cream for dentures "Rox" was developed in a scientific laboratory in Switzerland, so the company positions it as a product that has properties and characteristics that meet international quality standards.

How to care for your denture after using the cream

Important! Rocs denture fixation cream should be used with caution and not overdo it. Otherwise, you risk not being able to pull the removable device out of your mouth, the composition is so strong. As a result, you will have to leave the artificial teeth in overnight, and the effect of the drug components will weaken only in the morning, then you will be able to remove it from your mouth yourself.

Rocs denture cream can be easily removed with a toothbrush and regular paste, and to bring the denture into perfect condition after using the product and eliminate its residue, do not forget to use special cleansing and disinfecting tablets with a bioformula once a week. In general, recommendations for caring for the prosthesis after using this product are absolutely standard.

Description and composition of ROCS cream

This product is suitable for fixing partial removable and fully removable devices. It has a viscous thick consistency. Due to its composition, it ensures strong adhesion of the prosthesis to the mucous membrane, creates a tight connection between them, which prevents the entry of air, food particles and liquids, as well as bacteria. The fixing cream contains a minimum amount of ingredients: silicon dioxide, menthol, lecithin, potassium and sodium salts, water-soluble polymers, xylitol. Due to water-soluble polymers that absorb moisture, the cream increases in mass and creates the necessary layer.

The composition does not contain zinc or dyes, so it can be used by people prone to allergic reactions and those who have sensitive mucous membranes. Thanks to a component such as xylitol, the product has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect, it helps fight the first signs of gum inflammation: bleeding, swelling, itching and soreness.

Xylitol is a natural sweetener obtained from vegetables and fruits. This component is safe for people who still have natural teeth in their mouths, because... it prevents the formation of caries and promotes enamel remineralization. Numerous studies also confirm that xylitol improves the overall health of the oral cavity and has a beneficial effect on the mucous membranes.

Composition of cream for removable dentures

Fixing cream for dentures "Rox" was produced according to a special development of Russian scientists in Switzerland. It is unique and allows you to achieve really good results. By choosing it, you choose natural components of plant and mineral origin, which do not have any negative effects on the human body and time after time confirm their effectiveness in the prevention of gum inflammation. No zinc or artificial colors. It contains the following ingredients: cellulose gum, petrolatum, calcium and sodium, copolymer, silicon dioxide, menthol, menthyl lactate, lecithin.

Indications and contraindications for the use of ROCS composition

“Rox” cream for dentures should be used when the quality of fixation of removable appliances in the oral cavity has significantly weakened. It is necessary to remember that if the structures themselves were initially made with high quality and taking into account your anatomical features, then this situation, in principle, cannot happen immediately after their installation. But after a few years, the quality of fixation of removable devices may quite naturally weaken. This is due to the atrophy of the jaw bone, which will occur under the dentures, and therefore subsidence of the structures in some areas.

If the prosthesis needs correction or repair, as well as relining, then fixing creams will not correct the situation. Adhesive gels and compounds will also not help if the removable device was poorly manufactured and fitted. Here the problem needs to be solved by contacting a professional orthopedic doctor.

You can also use ROCS denture cream when they rub soft tissues, causing irritation of the mucous membrane. The product will make it easier to get used to removable devices, help relieve discomfort, and help prevent food particles from getting stuck under the denture.

  This cream was recommended to me by my dentist (I was itching from the previous one). What can I say? The cream is good, I like it. It really grows very quickly and locks in quite well. The price, of course, is higher than I expected, but the cream completely justifies its price. In general, I'm happy with everything. So far I have no contraindications. I will continue to use it.

  I also fix dentures with this cream, I used to suffer all the time with various low-quality fixatives, I accidentally saw this one in a pharmacy and decided to try it. The dentures last for 10-12 hours and have never let me down at work. Food particles do not get under the prosthesis, it is very convenient to apply the cream. And I was pleased with the composition, no dyes. Once I accidentally swallowed part of the cream, but I read in the instructions that it was completely safe. I will continue to use it.

  When we made a prosthesis for my grandmother for her anniversary, the prosthetics specialist recommended ROKS to us, although I had heard the well-known advertising “corega.” We bought it for 280 rubles. We’ve been using it for 4 months now; my grandmother doesn’t seem to complain, she says that the prostheses with this rocks it’s like family (she wore them for a week somewhere without fixing them with creams at all) So, in terms of price-quality ratio, it’s a very good cream for fixation. And what’s important is that it’s budget-friendly.

  I bought this cream for my grandmother. It cost 350 rubles at the pharmacy. Grandma is very pleased with this cream. The pension in our country is quite small, and for some pensioners it will be somewhat expensive to buy. So I'll give it to her. She constantly compares it with a cheap analogue. Pleasant mint taste, delicate consistency as opposed to the nasty taste of plastic and grains in the cream. Also, after using the cheap cream, she sometimes had a stomach ache, but after that she didn’t. I like its composition. My grandmother’s health is more important to me, and 350 rubles is not money for me, so I will always buy it for her.

  I “bought” the advertising and ratings of the ROCS fixing cream, purchased it and after several days of use I was disappointed: it does not last for 12 hours, heat has a negative effect on it and the fixation of the dentures is weak. In my opinion, Blend-a-Dent is a much better fixing cream.

Benefits of the cream

• up to 12 hours of reliable fixation of a removable device designed for the entire or only part of the dentition,
• fresh breath throughout the day: the effect is ensured by the menthol included in the product,
• safety and hypoallergenic, no toxic effect even if swallowed (as claimed by the manufacturer),
• possibility of use in patients with fluorosis and osteoporosis: the composition does not contain fluoride ions, which contribute to the exacerbation of these diseases, and also affect the functioning of the thyroid gland and kidneys,
• antibacterial effect: after applying the cream, an antibacterial film remains on the gums, which protects them from attack by pathogenic microorganisms throughout the day,
• protection of soft tissues from injury and chafing,
• protecting gums from inflammation,
• quick adaptation to removable dentures,
• the ability to eat hot food and drink hot drinks: many fixing creams weaken their effect after hot meals, but the manufacturer assures that you will not have such problems with ROCS,
• increasing the level of comfort during the operation of removable systems: the manufacturer claims that the product ensures absolute tightness, i.e. Neither food nor liquid will penetrate under the structure after applying the cream.

Review of effective remedies

On pharmacy shelves today, the range of fixing compounds for dentures is very huge. To somehow make choosing the right cream easier, let’s take a closer look at popular manufacturers.

Corega

The tube in which the cream is stored has a fairly convenient tip. During its development, components such as paraffin, zinc, gum and petrolatum were used. All of them do not have a detrimental effect on health. The manufacturer offers its customers the following types of Corega glue:

• strong hold,
• refreshing.

When applied, reliable fixation of the structure in the oral cavity is achieved for 24 hours. Thus, it is possible to prevent food from getting under the denture and reduces the risk of inflammation of the oral mucosa. The advantages of the product include:

• affordable price;
• ease of use;
• can be used for wet structures.

The disadvantages include:

• can be removed very quickly with water;
• after prolonged wear, swelling of the mucous membrane may occur;
• When eating, the denture may fall out of the mouth, as the cream dissolves under the influence of food and drinks.

Protefix

The cream guarantees reliable fixation of dentures for 10-12 hours. The manufacturer sells the following types of product: hypoallergenic without fragrances and dyes, and also with ingredients such as aloe and mint.

The popularity of Protefix cream is associated with the following set of positive qualities:

• efficiency;
• high fixing qualities;
• no pungent odor or taste.

Glue for attaching dentures is not without its disadvantages, namely:

• the tube contains a small amount of liquid;
• the dispenser does not facilitate convenient application;
• the bottle must be in a vertical position so that the product does not leak out.

Fittydent

Fittident is not suitable for patients who have increased sensitivity. It may cause a tingling and burning sensation in the gums when applied. To eliminate discomfort, you should wait for the glue to dry a little on the structure itself, and only then attach it.

The advantages of the product include:

• after removal there are no traces of glue on the gums;
• there is no pronounced taste;
• reliable fixation is achieved.

The disadvantages of glue are as follows:

• viscous consistency;
• it is necessary to distribute the glue only on a dry structure;
• high availability.

The president

After applying the cream, a dense film is formed on the surface of the structure. It protects against food debris getting under the denture base. When developing the product, components such as flavorings and petroleum jelly were used. The fixation is weakened by eating hot food.

The benefits of the cream include:

• reliable fixation;
• affordable price;
• Compared to other products, the volume of the cream is 10 ml more.

Disadvantages cannot be excluded, which include:

• specific aroma;
• When eating, the fixation weakens.

Lakalut

This product was developed by German specialists. It is of high quality and allows for reliable fixation for 24 hours. After application, a thin layer is formed between the mucous membrane and the prosthesis, which serves as reliable protection against chafing and the development of inflammation.

The advantages of the product include:

• pleasant aroma and taste;
• reliable fixation;
• protection of the mucous membrane from chafing.

The disadvantages include:

• high price;
• When drinking hot drinks and food, the fixation weakens.

Forest balm

This luting agent can be used for complete and partial dentures. When applied, excellent fixation is achieved even while eating. The product is based on an anti-inflammatory complex made from natural ingredients: chamomile and rosehip oil, which effectively stop the inflammatory process. The tube containing the cream is equipped with a narrow spout for easy application of the product.

Rocks

Rox is a fixing agent produced in Russia. Reliable fixation lasts for 12 hours. The product can be used for attaching removable crowns and structures. The consumption of the cream is very economical, one tube is enough for 2 months. There are no dyes in the composition, fresh breath is achieved.

Correct use of cream

To obtain a comfortable fixation of the structure, it is necessary to follow certain rules for using the cream. These include the following:

1. Before applying the product, the denture must be clean and dry. After each use of the product, it must be cleaned of plaque, glue residues and food. Before fixing, go over with a brush and cotton wool soaked in a special solution. Wash the denture with water and wait until it dries.
2. Distribute the glue pointwise into the required recess of the structure. Place it in place in the mouth and close your jaws for a couple of seconds.
3. After this procedure, it is forbidden to eat or drink for 30 minutes. It is not necessary to remove the structure overnight. If it is securely fixed, then you can go to bed with it. Just apply the product in small quantities next time.
4. The fixative should be stored in a tightly sealed package.

Disadvantage information

The main disadvantage is the relatively high cost. The product is sold in 40 ml tubes. For one tube you will have to pay about 250 rubles. On average, this amount of product, when used rationally (once a day), will last you for one or several months. However, some reviews indicate that “Rox” has a rather viscous consistency, it is difficult to apply and distribute evenly over the prosthesis, so calculating the required concentration of cream for comfortable use can be quite difficult.

Instructions for use

To have a positive effect, the cream for fixing dentures must be used correctly and according to the instructions:

1. apply the product only to a previously cleaned prosthesis,
2. first apply the product pointwise, and then distribute it evenly over the entire surface,
3. remove any remaining food from your mouth, rinse your mouth thoroughly and spit out the saliva,
4. Press the structure firmly against the mucous membrane for a few seconds and close your jaws.

Once the removable device has been secured in your mouth, refrain from consuming food or liquid. You will be able to have a snack only 15-30 minutes after this. If you start eating earlier, the cream will not have time to fully demonstrate its fixing properties and form an airtight layer, and the denture will not stay in place well.

ROCS cream is a super-strong hold product, so if you're just starting to use it, be careful not to apply a large amount of product at once.

Operating principle

Rocs fixing cream has a light and weightless texture, due to which the product is easily distributed over the surface of a removable or partially removable device, and forms a barely noticeable thin layer between the gum and the device.

Carefully! Before applying the product, test the mucous membrane for a reaction. Although the manufacturing company positions its products as environmentally friendly and safe and guarantees one hundred percent results, precautions will not hurt. Some may experience individual incompatibility with the components of the Rox fixing cream and discomfort when using it.

Product storage rules

ROCS fixing cream will retain its positive properties throughout its shelf life (2 years from the date of manufacture) only if you store it correctly. Remember that the product should not be left open or placed in the refrigerator. It has a dense consistency, after exposure to high temperatures and air, the composition will become even more dense and dry, which is why you will have difficulty applying it. In addition, if you do not seal the tube tightly, pathogenic microorganisms may enter it.

Price

If we consider the cost of other means for fixing the prosthesis, it can be noted that it is slightly lower than ROCS

On average, in Russia the price at which it can be purchased varies from 260 to 380 rubles per package .

When purchasing this drug, you should keep in mind that it is classified as a means of super-strong fixation, and therefore the consumption will be minimal.

The manufacturer notes that with daily use, this volume is enough for 2 months .

Side effect: can it occur from using the cream?

The manufacturer claims that the product is safe even if swallowed, but with daily use and abuse of the composition (excessive application, use more than once a day), some patients may experience a negative reaction of the body in the form of nausea, increased saliva production, gastrointestinal upset, the appearance of an allergic reaction or headache.

Contraindications

Denture adhesive is a completely safe product that can be applied by absolutely anyone who does not have individual tolerance. Be careful to apply the product in small quantities, otherwise when you press the jaws it will peek out from under the denture. When used correctly, there is no harm to the body or the structure itself. Only occasionally can an overdose occur, which is characterized by the following symptoms:

• feeling of nausea;
• increased salivation;
• drowsy state;
• feeling of weakness;
• dizziness;
• allergic reaction.

If one of the presented signs occurs, you must immediately visit the clinic.

To protect yourself from such phenomena, you need to take certain precautions. You can use a fixation device only after it has been recommended by a doctor. Use it strictly according to the instructions. Store it in a place where a child's hand cannot reach. The packaging should not be exposed to moisture, and storage should take place at room temperature. These rules are not that difficult to follow, but they will allow you to protect yourself from adverse events and achieve reliable, long-term fixation of the dental structure.

What can be replaced: what are the alternatives?

If you are interested in products that are more budget-friendly and similar in their mode of action, then you can consider Protefix or Fittydent. Their cost starts from 140 rubles. For thrifty consumers, “President” (PresiDENT) is also suitable - it is produced in tubes of 50 ml rather than 40, however, its cost is slightly higher - from 200 rubles.

For those who are interested in a longer retention period for dentures than Rox, it is recommended to consider a product from the LACALUT brand - the manufacturer claims that it can provide up to 24 hours of reliable retention of dentures in the mouth.

If the product is not suitable

Typically, those who use Rox cream for dentures leave good reviews about it, and are in no hurry to buy other formulations with a similar principle of action. However, for completeness of information, it will be useful to know that there are analogues of the drug in pharmacies. Such as Lakalut, Fittident tooth cream, Protefix or Corega. All these drugs compete with Rox, which is known on the domestic market as a cream-gel.

“I’ve been wearing removable teeth for a long time and couldn’t find the perfect option to keep it in my mouth. Everything the doctors prescribed only caused discomfort. It got to the point that I became embarrassed to go outside - it seemed that my “teeth” would fall out at the most inopportune moment. Before buying Rox denture fixation cream, I spent a long time reading all sorts of reviews on the Internet. But when I decided, happiness knew no bounds. I won’t experiment anymore, I found something that suits me. Therefore, I am writing my review in the hope that it will be useful.”
