Protefix Adhesive Cushions

Effective protection against pressure points and inflammation, proven for difficult jaw conditions or major adhesion problems. Dentists particularly recommend Protefix Adhesive Cushions for relining the resulting cavities in interim dentures for the lower and upper jaw in the case of special problem cases. The adhesive cushions consist of a fine, palate-friendly fleece fabric that contains sodium alginate and additionally supports the adhesive force after a short moistening. The cushions thus offer effective protection against pressure points and inflammation. In addition to their importance for interim dentures, they have also proven their worth in cases of severe jawbone regression - particularly in the lower jaw - when it is very narrow or severely flattened. For wearers of full dentures with extreme adhesion problems, Protefix Adhesive Cushions are therefore often the last resort when nothing else will hold.

Composition

Fleece consisting of sodium alginate, viscose fibre, polypropylene fibre.

Application

Step 2: Place the cushion on the moistened denture. The back 2 mm must remain uncovered. Press the cushion with both thumbs (starting in the middle) until it fits smoothly everywhere.

Lower jaw denture
