Denture Fixative: Super Corega Fixative Science and Formulation
Super Corega fixative helps to improve denture performance
Proven to hold dentures for up to 12 hours and increase bite force by approximately 1–2kg*1,2
Super Corega fixatives are an effective denture fixative solution for many patients.
Dual polymer system
Denture fixatives can help stabilise, secure and maintain denture performance.3,4
Super Corega fixative dual polymer system consists of two ingredients: carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and polyvinyl methyl ether/maleic acid (PVM/MA).
- Two polymers are activated on contact with saliva, expand and cross-link to create an elastic polymer network
- This elastic network can resist both tensile forces and shear stresses
- Increasing both retention and stability of the denture2
Super Corega helps seal and protect against food entrapment
Super Corega fixative sealing action helps reduce food entrapment between the denture and mucosa by 74%.*5

Maintaining denture performance
The Super Corega denture fixative dual polymer system is designed to maintain denture performance when patients need it the most.
