Question for a specialist
For people who wear removable dentures, today there is a wide range of fixing creams that help them feel more comfortable and confident in everyday life. However, choosing an option that meets the highest quality standards without studying detailed information about products in this category and without practical experience is quite difficult. That is why we continue to introduce you to the most famous and most effective means. This material is about ROCS cream

Adhesive for dentures: features of use

The main role of the adhesive composition is to fix removable dental structures to the alveolar process. In this case, the prosthesis itself can be made of nylon or plastic. Glue can be used alone or in combination with other fasteners.

But this application is not the only one. Glue can be used to fix permanent structures for a certain time. For example, the cement under the crown fixed on the front side suddenly collapsed. If you can’t go to the dentist right away, you can take glue for fixing removable dentures and use it to secure the crown. This way, you can wait for a while and then still see a doctor.

In addition, glue for fixing dentures performs such secondary functions as freshening breath and guaranteeing a pleasant aroma from the mouth. Thanks to reliable fixation, a person is completely confident in the reliability of the prosthesis and feels much more comfortable. The use of glue allows you to avoid rubbing of the gums and the development of inflammation, which often occurs due to a loose fit of the structure. With fixing glue, you can be sure that food debris will not get under the denture, because the space between it and the gum is filled with a fixing compound.

Manufacturer information

Rox cream is created by specialists from the group (DRC). This is a Russian-Swiss enterprise that has several large production sites and three research laboratories. The company creates cosmetics and medications, but it is most famous in the world for its oral care products – toothpastes and toothbrushes. In 2014, the ROCS brand received the seal of approval1 from the Russian Dental Association for high-quality toothbrushes for adults and children.

Cream for dentures "Rox" was developed in a scientific laboratory in Switzerland, so the company positions it as a product that has properties and characteristics that meet international quality standards.

Description and composition of ROCS cream

This product is suitable for fixing partial removable and fully removable devices. It has a viscous thick consistency. Due to its composition, it ensures strong adhesion of the prosthesis to the mucous membrane, creates a tight connection between them, which prevents the entry of air, food particles and liquids, as well as bacteria. The fixing cream contains a minimum amount of ingredients: silicon dioxide, menthol, lecithin, potassium and sodium salts, water-soluble polymers, xylitol. Due to water-soluble polymers that absorb moisture, the cream increases in mass and creates the necessary layer.

The composition does not contain zinc or dyes, so it can be used by people prone to allergic reactions and those who have sensitive mucous membranes. Thanks to a component such as xylitol, the product has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect, it helps fight the first signs of gum inflammation: bleeding, swelling, itching and soreness.

Xylitol is a natural sweetener obtained from vegetables and fruits. This component is safe for people who still have natural teeth in their mouths, because... it prevents the formation of caries and promotes enamel remineralization. Numerous studies also confirm that xylitol improves the overall health of the oral cavity and has a beneficial effect on the mucous membranes.

Reasons why Rocs cream is the best option

• Rocs fixing cream for dentures provides up to 12 hours of perfect fixation: two layers, the gingival layer and the denture bed, adhere securely to each other. Twelve hours is exactly the period of time that most of us need to be fully awake and go out into the world, communicate with colleagues and friends,
• smile aesthetics: it will be impossible to notice that you have a prosthesis, it is held so securely in your mouth and does not cause any trouble. In addition, the cream gives a natural shine to artificial teeth,

• the composition does not contain fluorine: it is suitable for those people who suffer from chronic diseases, disorders of the endocrine system, renal failure, bone osteoporosis,
• effective for fixing removable and partially removable devices,
• normalizes the microflora of the oral cavity,
• safety: if the owner of the prosthesis accidentally swallows the product, nothing will happen to him,
• for those who have teeth in their mouths: helps cope with increased enamel sensitivity,
• Another advantage of Rox cream for dentures is that, despite its lightness, it creates an airtight film and serves as reliable protection for the gums from food getting under the structure. What does it mean? The gums will be healthy, there will be no inflammation on them,
• fresh breath for the whole day: the taste of metol will appeal to the owner of artificial teeth. This is much more pleasant than feeling the aftertaste of a chemical composition and thinking that there is some strange glue in your mouth. All sensations will be completely natural,
• the opportunity to enjoy your favorite food: anywhere, be it work or home, Rox denture cream will not allow the denture to fall out of your mouth. Thanks to the patented formula, it interacts with saliva and does not lose its fixing properties even from eating thermally processed foods, such as hot or cold dishes.

Indications and contraindications for the use of ROCS composition

“Rox” cream for dentures should be used when the quality of fixation of removable appliances in the oral cavity has significantly weakened. It is necessary to remember that if the structures themselves were initially made with high quality and taking into account your anatomical features, then this situation, in principle, cannot happen immediately after their installation. But after a few years, the quality of fixation of removable devices may quite naturally weaken. This is due to the atrophy of the jaw bone, which will occur under the dentures, and therefore subsidence of the structures in some areas.

If the prosthesis needs correction or repair, as well as relining, then fixing creams will not correct the situation. Adhesive gels and compounds will also not help if the removable device was poorly manufactured and fitted. Here the problem needs to be solved by contacting a professional orthopedic doctor.

You can also use ROCS denture cream when they rub soft tissues, causing irritation of the mucous membrane. The product will make it easier to get used to removable devices, help relieve discomfort, and help prevent food particles from getting stuck under the denture.

• safety and hypoallergenic, no toxic effect even if swallowed (as claimed by the manufacturer),
• possibility of use in patients with fluorosis and osteoporosis: the composition does not contain fluoride ions, which contribute to the exacerbation of these diseases, and also affect the functioning of the thyroid gland and kidneys,
• antibacterial effect: after applying the cream, an antibacterial film remains on the gums, which protects them from attack by pathogenic microorganisms throughout the day,
• protection of soft tissues from injury and chafing,
• protecting gums from inflammation,
• quick adaptation to removable dentures,
• the ability to eat hot food and drink hot drinks: many fixing creams weaken their effect after hot meals, but the manufacturer assures that you will not have such problems with ROCS,
• increasing the level of comfort during the operation of removable systems: the manufacturer claims that the product ensures absolute tightness, i.e. Neither food nor liquid will penetrate under the structure after applying the cream.

What does it represent?

ROCS cream is a product that allows you to create an elastic shock-absorbing layer in the gap formed between the denture and the soft tissues of the oral cavity.

This pillow provides a strong hold and reduces discomfort during adaptation.

Who produces?

The ROCS fixing agent was developed and produced by a group of Russian-Swiss companies DRC . The holding has its own scientific laboratory, where all data on prosthetic devices is collected and analyzed.

This allows them to create highly efficient products that meet European requirements. Two production sites of the DRC group provide fixing cream to most countries in the world.

Product quality is confirmed by relevant ISO 9001-2008 certificates.

Ingredients

The main components of such products are water-soluble polymers and organic sodium or potassium salts. These substances quickly absorb moisture, increasing in mass and forming the necessary layer.

Additional components include preservatives that significantly increase the shelf life of the product. The cream has a menthol flavor added to maintain fresh breath throughout the use of the prosthesis.

The difference between this cream and similar products is that it contains xylitol, a powerful aseptic component. Xylitol not only destroys germs, but also creates an invisible antibacterial film that protects the surface of the oral cavity from the effects of pathogenic microorganisms.

Action

The principle of action of the cream is no different from other means for fixing removable structures. Even with a perfectly fitted prosthesis, microgaps always form between it and the gum.

The soft cream applied to the structure is evenly distributed over the entire surface. Over time, it fills with saliva, increases in volume and increases the adhesion of the prosthesis and soft tissues.

When using a sufficient amount of the product, reliable fixation is ensured, which eliminates even minimal shifts in the structure .

In addition, the resulting elastic layer prevents excessive pressure on the gums and food particles from getting under the denture.

Disadvantage information

The main disadvantage is the relatively high cost. The product is sold in 40 ml tubes. For one tube you will have to pay about 250 rubles. On average, this amount of product, when used rationally (once a day), will last you for one or several months. However, some reviews indicate that “Rox” has a rather viscous consistency, it is difficult to apply and distribute evenly over the prosthesis, so calculating the required concentration of cream for comfortable use can be quite difficult.

Instructions for use

To have a positive effect, the cream for fixing dentures must be used correctly and according to the instructions:

1. apply the product only to a previously cleaned prosthesis,
2. first apply the product pointwise, and then distribute it evenly over the entire surface,
3. remove any remaining food from your mouth, rinse your mouth thoroughly and spit out the saliva,
4. Press the structure firmly against the mucous membrane for a few seconds and close your jaws.

Once the removable device has been secured in your mouth, refrain from consuming food or liquid. You will be able to have a snack only 15-30 minutes after this. If you start eating earlier, the cream will not have time to fully demonstrate its fixing properties and form an airtight layer, and the denture will not stay in place well.

ROCS cream is a super-strong hold product, so if you're just starting to use it, be careful not to apply a large amount of product at once.

How to use the product correctly

Rocs denture cream is easy to use, helps to fix the removable denture in the mouth very quickly and super firmly, and usually does not cause any inconvenience to its owners during application. The application principle is as follows:

• you need to remove the denture from your mouth and remove all moisture from it. The device must be absolutely clean before applying the fixative composition, no crumbs or food particles,
• It is recommended to squeeze the tube, which resembles a regular toothpaste in appearance, from the end and not twist it. This way, applying the composition will be economical and will allow you not to resort to purchasing other products for a long time. The consistency of the cream for fixing dentures "Rox" is very thick, which allows it to be used for at least several months,
• you need to apply “Rox” cream for fixing dentures in small portions in four places with a dotted line (the instructions on the package are quite clear and you should not have any questions), avoid using the composition near the edges of the denture,
• make sure that there is no excess saliva in your mouth, as a last resort, get rid of it,
• place the prosthesis in the mouth and hold for several seconds,
• refrain from eating and drinking for a while after fixation.

Product storage rules

ROCS fixing cream will retain its positive properties throughout its shelf life (2 years from the date of manufacture) only if you store it correctly. Remember that the product should not be left open or placed in the refrigerator. It has a dense consistency, after exposure to high temperatures and air, the composition will become even more dense and dry, which is why you will have difficulty applying it. In addition, if you do not seal the tube tightly, pathogenic microorganisms may enter it.

Price

If we consider the cost of other means for fixing the prosthesis, it can be noted that it is slightly lower than ROCS

On average, in Russia the price at which it can be purchased varies from 260 to 380 rubles per package .

When purchasing this drug, you should keep in mind that it is classified as a means of super-strong fixation, and therefore the consumption will be minimal.

The manufacturer notes that with daily use, this volume is enough for 2 months .

Side effect: can it occur from using the cream?

The manufacturer claims that the product is safe even if swallowed, but with daily use and abuse of the composition (excessive application, use more than once a day), some patients may experience a negative reaction of the body in the form of nausea, increased saliva production, gastrointestinal upset, the appearance of an allergic reaction or headache.
