Modern orthopedic technologies are imperfect and the use of dental structures made of artificial materials can cause their owner many inconveniences.

Being a foreign body, the prosthesis affects the organs of the oral cavity.

This, in turn, can lead to difficulties in conversation, impaired chewing function, rubbing the mucous membrane of the gums, unstable fixation of the structure in the oral cavity.

The duration of the addiction to the prosthesis is affected by:

• The general condition of the body.
• The design of the prosthesis.
• Individual features of the patient's oral cavity, as well as the time elapsed since the loss of teeth.

To smooth the manifestation of discomfort during the operation of the denture, as well as to facilitate the period of getting used to it, timely correction of the structure and the use of means for fixing dentures will help. For example, fixing pads for dentures.

Trade marks

• Protefix (Protefix®)
• Fittydent

Indications

• Ideal for people whose jaw structure is unfavorable for wearing removable dental structures.
• Recommended in the presence of abrasions of the mucous membrane.
• Age-related deformation of the gums.
• Atrophic changes in the alveolar processes of the jaw.

Protefix

Designed for reliable and long-term fixation of removable dentures on the lower and upper jaw.

• Gaskets help prevent galling due to its composition and avoid the appearance of irritation in the oral cavity.
• When using gaskets for fixation, the use of structures with the special structure of the jaws is facilitated.
• Convenience and ease of use of fixing gaskets makes the series of protefix available to everyone without exception.
• As a result, people using removable dentures receive maximum comfort in the oral cavity.

Composition:

• Sodium Alginate.
• Excipients: polypropylene and viscose fiber.

The properties

• Ensuring reliable fixation of the structure for 8 hours.
• Protection of the mucosa from inflammation and scuffs.
• Easy to use.
• Effective in the presence of age-related deformity of the gums.
• Recommended when using temporary structures and at the stage of getting used to permanent dentures.

Features

Fixing pads for dentures can be used in combination with gum treatment.

They can be used with the simultaneous use of drugs: for example, with ointments.

The ointment applied to the gum mucosa will not lose its properties, and will not be "eaten", thanks to the laying.

How to use

• Dip the gasket in warm water for ten seconds.
• Place a pad moistened with water on a previously cleaned denture.
• Press the structure against the gums so that it lies flat on the structure.

Fittient

Composition:

• Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is a good thickener.
• Hydroxypropyl cellulose creates viscosity.
• Petrolatum helps keep the gasket in place.

The properties

• Reliable retention of the denture on the gums during the day.
• Insoluble in water, saliva, drinks and other liquids.
• Protect oral tissue from irritation, inflammation, and the formation of compression ulcers.
• Do not cause inconvenience when eating, talking.
• Effective for people with excessive salivation.

How to apply

• Thoroughly clean and dry the dental structure.
• Remove the protective film from both sides of the gasket.
• Gently lay the gasket on the inside of the dry prosthesis. Care must be taken to ensure that no air gaps form between the surface of the prosthesis and the gasket.
• Cut off excess gasket parts.
• Place the prosthesis on the jaw.
• Close jaws tightly and hold them in this position for 15 to 20 seconds.
• At least 15 minutes must elapse from the moment the structure is installed to the meal.
