Product Information

Poligrip Power Hold + Seal can be used on all types of dentures; full or partials, metal or plastic. So it really is suitable for everyone. But zinc containing denture adhesives can have problems if overused in the long term. These denture adhesives can cause copper deficiency and excessive zinc in the blood. Worst case scenario, they can even cause nerve damage.

There is not much evidence into the effects of using denture adhesive for more than six months. Generally they are considered safe for long term use for most people. What is the strongest type of denture adhesive? Soft relines and denture cushions generally aren’t suitable for partial denture wearers. This is because they can spill around the areas where teeth are, making them very difficult to remove.

Whilst pastes are more widely known, powders give the added advantage of being easy to apply all over. The bottle only needs to be gently squeezed for a puff of power to come out. I chose this because it is a widely available paste (the most popular type of adhesive), which they report to have their best hold (compared to other variations), and is also zinc free. Also, it comes in a minty flavour or a flavourless form. However, if you are concerned there are plenty of zinc-free options available. Most creams, gels and pastes are suitable for partial dentures Poligrip are mostly zinc free whilst most Fixodent adhesives do contain zinc. This is one consideration for you. If used as directed, zinc containing denture adhesive is safe for daily use. See the section on zinc below to read more about the potential problems of using zinc containing denture adhesive.You don’t need to buy specific partial denture adhesive as most cream formats can be used on both partial and full dentures. Bonyf Denture Relining Cushion, Cushion Grip Thermoplastic Denture Adhesive, DentTemp Reline It, FittyDent (Secure) Waterproof Denture Adhesive Strips, OlivaFix Denture Relining Cushion There aren’t many options available for denture adhesive powders, and my recommendation is based largely on what is available where you live.
