Generally speaking, denture adhesive helps to stabilize the dentures onto the gums. This helps a patient feel more comfortable when they eat or talk. However, if your dentures are well fitting, in most cases, you shouldn't have to use much, if any, adhesive.

Fixodent, Poligrip, Super Poligrip and other denture creams contain zinc and have recently been linked to several serious, and potentially life-threatening, side effects: Zinc poisoning (hyperglycemia) Copper depletion or copper deficiency (hypocupremia) Neuropathy.

The main ingredients in denture adhesives are polymethyl vinyl ether-malevich anhydrade (PVM-MA) copolymer and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Some denture adhesive products contain zinc to provide greater strength of adhesion.

Flavor free Poligrip Power Hold + Seal provides our strongest hold within the Poligrip range and creates a 5x protective food barrier** against food particles. This new denture adhesive cream is clinically proven to deliver up to a 12 hour hold.

Mode of Action As the Adhesive powders absorb water, they swell to many times their original volume and the anions so formed, interact with cations in the proteins in the oral mucous membrane. The viscosity of the adhesive is increased by the thick saliva formed, thereby increasing the denture retention.

A denture adhesive should be ideally biocompatible non-irritating, and can adhere properly to the oral mucosa. They should be easy-to-apply and easy-to-remove, and maintain adhesion strength for 12–16 h.

Remember, Poligrip denture adhesive holds all day, so you should not need to apply it more than once a day. 5.
