Modern prosthetic structures can remain in the oral cavity around the clock. Consequently, they are constantly in contact with food and saliva. Therefore, without daily brushing, artificial teeth and gums quickly become covered with plaque, which over time will be difficult to remove. To prevent this from happening, a special toothpaste for dentures must be used, and it must be used regularly.
Requirements for cleaning products for orthopedic structures
A product for cleaning artificial crowns and gums must meet the following requirements:
- Efficiency. It is important that the product helps quickly remove all food debris from open and hard-to-reach areas.
- Safety. The composition should not contain toxic substances, foaming agents, or abrasive particles.
- Comfort of use. Good pasta has a pleasant or neutral taste.
Besides these, there are other requirements. For example, paste for dentures should not scratch their surfaces or change color. It is also desirable that after using it, a feeling of freshness appears in the mouth, and all unpleasant odors disappear.
Nuances of choosing paste for dentures
The choice of hygiene product for orthopedic structures depends primarily on the type of prosthesis:
- Artificial crowns and fixed bridges can be cleaned with conventional non-bleaching toothpastes with an abrasiveness index (RDA) of less than 50.
- It is better to clean removable dentures from food debris and bacterial plaque with special pastes that do not contain abrasive particles at all, so conventional products are not suitable.
- Structures of any type cannot be cleaned with tooth powder, which is intended for much harder natural enamel.
Manufacturers today offer a wide selection of special pastes for dentures. Such products do not contain components that can scratch the structure or leave stains on it or change color. But if you don’t have such a paste on hand, you can clean the denture with soap. In this case, the structure must first be removed and thoroughly rinsed with water after hygienic treatment.

How to clean dentures with toothpaste
After dental prosthetics are successfully completed, the dentist gives the patient recommendations on the proper use and care of the structures. In particular, he advises suitable brands of regular and special pastes that can be safely used for cleaning crowns, bridges or removable denture modules. It also explains and shows exactly how to clean structures.
In particular, hygienic treatment of removable dentures should be carried out outside the oral cavity. It is better to use a special brush with double-sided bristles, onto which the paste is applied. Surfaces are processed without undue effort, but no area of the prosthesis should be ignored.
All removable structures, and especially nylon modules, need to be additionally cleaned once a week in a special solution. Tablets for its preparation can be bought at any pharmacy.

Removable dentures are designed to improve a person’s quality of life and are considered the most cost-effective method of prosthetics. But, when wearing this design, there is a problem - insufficient fixation, that is, their mobility. This uncomfortable state makes it impossible to lead a normal lifestyle: eat, smile, talk. To enhance the reliable fixation of dentures, special creams have been developed. In addition to the main task, such products prevent food from getting stuck between the teeth and create a feeling of freshness in the oral cavity. Each of us is individual. The special structure of the jaw or seemingly minor gaps in the manufacture of dentures can affect the low adhesion effect. It is in such cases that you have to resort to additional fixing agents.
Criteria influencing the choice of fixative drug. To decide which fixing cream is most suitable for you for dentures, let’s list the parameters for choosing them:
- duration of fixation of the prosthesis (adhesion period);
- resistance to temperature changes;
- connection reliability;
- protection against penetration of food under the prosthesis (tightness);
- aromatic ingredients included in the cream;
- the absence of zinc in the composition of the drug, which has an ambiguous effect on the body;
- simplicity and clarity of use;
- the price of the product;
- volume of the drug in the tube (how long it can be used).
Today, there is an impressive list of creams for fixing removable dentures on sale. When choosing this or that product, study all the pros and cons in advance. The principle of action of fixing creams. All fixatives are based on polysaccharides and polypeptides. These components tend to expand when in contact with a moist environment. First, the cream is applied to the denture. Next, the structure is placed on the gum. The applied product immediately begins to act. The evenly distributed elastic layer takes on the contours of all oral surfaces, thereby imparting reliable adhesion of the prosthesis to soft tissues. Such creams are especially recommended for use during the period of adaptation to dentures, when the oral cavity is not yet accustomed to wearing a new design. Thanks to fixing agents, it is possible to minimize the likelihood of injury and irritation of the oral cavity. The most famous creams for fixing removable dentures. So, let's list the best fixing agents today:
- ROCS This Russian-Swiss brand has a high quality rating in the pharmaceutical market. The product of the presented brand can be bought in every city. The price goes up to 350. The drug guarantees the fixation of dentures for 12 hours. The tube contains 40 grams of product. The cream is quite thick, so it should be applied slowly and patiently. But a sufficiently long neck allows you to evenly dose the product in small portions, creating an airtight layer. To avoid bad breath, the cream contains natural ingredients - menthol and mint. Does not contain zinc, known for its negative effects on the human body. Does not wash out from the base when rinsing the mouth. When you eat food at different temperatures, you don’t have to worry that the applied cream will dissolve. It is also acceptable to apply the product to wet dentures;
- LAKALUT dent. The German brand company has proven itself well among dental and oral care products. The price of the drug reaches 400. Often, the edges of the denture rub against soft tissue, thereby injuring the gums. Thanks to LAKALUT dent cream, an invisible layer is formed that prevents any mechanical damage to the gums. A thin film creates a good seal. At the same time, the taste of the food remains unchanged. The manufacturer promises strong fixation of dentures within 24 hours. Using this brand of cream does not change the bite. There was no unpleasant odor from the mouth. On the contrary, a refreshing minty taste. But, there is a serious drawback - when eating hot food, the adhesion between the dentures and soft tissues weakens slightly;
- Protefix. Manufacturers of the German company present a whole series of products for the care of artificial teeth. The fixing cream of this brand is available in tubes of different sizes: 27 g of the product can be bought at a pharmacy for about 150, and a tube of 45 g will cost 300-400 rubles. Agree, it is convenient and economical. Especially if you decide to purchase the drug as a trial. Good adhesive properties promise strong hold for 10-12 hours. It is also acceptable to use the product on wet dentures. The ointment is evenly distributed over the areas of application. The manufacturer has also taken care of those who want to choose. Therefore, a series of preparations of three types is presented: hypoallergenic cream without fragrances and dyes, and creams for lovers of fresh breath, that is, with mint and aloe components. In case of intense salivation, the product remains in the same place, that is, it is not washed away. The disadvantages include the inconvenient dispenser to use and the dissolution of the ointment when eating hot food;
- COREGA. The brand of the Irish company is trustworthy and is one of the leaders in the drug market. A 40-gram tube of cream can be purchased at the nearest pharmacy in the city for about 250 rubles. The product applied to the dentures does not allow food particles to penetrate between the teeth, that is, the ointment has a good seal. The manufacturer promises fixation of the prostheses within 10 hours. The components of the drug are not capable of causing allergies. The cream has a pleasant taste. Not bad for “beginners”. But, citing customer reviews, serious shortcomings were found in the product of this brand. To apply the next portion of cream, the denture should be thoroughly cleaned of any remnants of the previously applied product. The ointment is washed off quickly enough with water. Therefore, the actual effect of fixation is approximately 3-4 hours. It is also noted that when exposed to hot liquid or food, the product quickly melts, which leads to a weakening of the adhesion, and accordingly, the prosthesis may fall out. The tube of the drug has a wide neck. And this means quick consumption and inconvenient application. And yet, with constant use of the cream, swelling of the oral mucosa is possible.
It’s up to you to decide which fixing agent to choose. Users' opinions were divided. “Newbies” usually use the advertised brand of cream COREGA. Experienced users prefer the more expensive, but based on their experience of using them, the most reliable fixing agents: LAKALUT dent, ROCS and Protefix. Good luck with your choice!
