Denture fixatives: Poligrip Fixative Science and Technology
Make the difference, with Poligrip. Help turn every new denture into an outstanding patient experience.
Clinically proven improved hold for up to 12 hours in well-fitting dentures*
Denture movement is one of the most common concerns of patients with dentures.1 The formulation of Poligrip fixative works by partnering fast-acting and long-lasting polymers that weave together to form a flexible, cushioning layer, that can immediately start to bond with gums. When it comes into contact with moisture, this layer expands, which can ensure an even closer connection between the denture and the mouth.
Your recommendation of Poligrip fixative can offer patients:
- Clinically proven improvement in bite force*2
- Significant reduction in perceived denture movement*2

Poligrip helps reduce food entrapment*2
Poligrip denture fixative helps seal the area between the denture base and mucosal surface to prevent food particles getting trapped.

Poligrip fixatives help improve patient comfort*4
In a clinical study, 87% of patients with newly fitted dentures required adjustment after 1-week wear due to discomfort.4
Using Poligrip denture fixatives helps reduce pressure on load bearing tissues.
Poligrip denture fixatives provide a cushioning effect to absorb pressure during mastication by forming an adaptive layer.*
