Features of application
Cream for fixing dentures Lakalut has its own application characteristics . It is important to monitor how and in what quantity to apply it to the gums, for which you need to study the instructions.
Most fixation agents, including various types of adhesives, cannot be applied to wet gums or dentures. This creates additional inconvenience, since it is difficult to achieve complete dryness in the oral cavity.
It’s the same with dentures - after washing, sometimes you need to urgently attach them to the gums, but they haven’t dried yet.
Such problems do not arise with Lakalut cream; its peculiarity is that this product can be used for application to damp structures.
They just need to be blotted with a clean paper towel, after which you can safely apply the fixing cream.
Instructions for use
To securely secure dentures to your teeth, you need to adhere to some rules for using the cream:
- Before fixing the prosthesis in the oral cavity, it is necessary to thoroughly clean it of food debris, plaque and any other contaminants.
- The denture should be rinsed under water. It is better if it is flowing. This ensures that microparticles are washed out of the recesses of the prosthesis.
- Apply the cream to the dental structure (sometimes it is applied like glue - in a dotted line).
- The denture is placed on the gum and pressed firmly so that the fixation agent is evenly distributed under the denture, securing it.
It is necessary to press for approximately 20 seconds. If there is a lot of cream and it spreads over the gums, you need to carefully collect the excess with a paper napkin to prevent an overdose of the product. - After installing the prosthesis in the oral cavity, you should refrain from eating for 10-20 minutes.
- After completing the application procedure, you need to tightly close the tube with the cream so that as little air and moisture as possible get in there.
Patients are not always able to correctly calculate the amount of product needed to secure the dentures. Sometimes the dental structure fits so tightly to the gum that it is very difficult to remove.
In order not to disrupt the integrity of the mucous membranes in the oral cavity, the denture should be removed carefully. Most often, after 12-16 hours, the cream begins to lose its fixation ability.
After the time required for the active substances of the drug to be absorbed, the prosthesis will fall off on its own. Sometimes this may take a whole day.
Duration of action
Lakalut cream retains its effect on fixing the prosthesis for up to 24 hours , so it can be safely used in the morning, with the expectation that the dentures will not come off until the evening.
Storage
The product must be used before the expiration date, which is indicated on the cardboard packaging and on the tube itself. After the specified date, it cannot be used, even if more than half of the liquid mass remains.
In order for the cream to be preserved for a long time, you need to avoid drying it out (which is possible if you do not close the lid in time) and protect the tube from moisture. The drug should be stored out of the reach of children.
Types of adult pastes
The range of Lacalut pastes is presented in adult and children's series. There are about 20 types of Lakalut pastes intended for adults. They differ from each other in the level of abrasiveness, auxiliary components and purpose.
Lakalut asset
The product was created for preventive purposes. It helps strengthen the gums and reduce their bleeding during brushing teeth and eating food. The main indications for the use of Aktive paste: gingivitis in acute and chronic form, increased bleeding of gums, periodontopathy, prevention of carious processes, soft and hard plaque on enamel.
The instructions for use say that the product can be used in courses (up to 6 days in a row). Otherwise, resistance of the pathogenic flora to the components of the drug may occur; in other words, the effectiveness of the product will be reduced.
When treating dental diseases, it is advisable to alternate Lakalut active with other pastes in this series, for example, Fitoformula or White Alpin.
There are several therapeutic properties inherent in Lakalut Active paste:
- homostatic;
- antiseptic;
- restorative;
- anti-caries.
The paste contains chlorhexidine, which has a bactericidal effect and helps remove soft plaque on the surface of the teeth.
Which toothpaste is best for brushing your teeth?
A few words should be said about Lakalut Aktive Herbal paste, which additionally includes medicinal herbs:
- star anise chamomile;
- fennel;
- fennel oil;
- eucalyptus oil;
- sage.
Laculut Aktive Herbal paste is intended for people with loose and weak gums. Negative changes in periodontal tissue occur as a result of constant exposure to external factors: fungal pathogens, lack of vitamins in the body, toxic effects of food or medications. Gum diseases are accompanied by the formation of abrasions and ulcers on them, and increased bleeding. Thanks to its natural composition and complex effects, Laculut Aktive Herbal suppresses inflammatory processes and reduces the risk of developing periodontal pathologies.
Lakalut Active paste has some restrictions in its use, which is due to the presence of antiseptic components in its composition. With prolonged use, the drug may change the pH of the oral cavity. The product is available in tubes of 30, 50, 75 and 100 mg. The price of pasta varies between 130–190 rubles.
Lakalut Phytoformula
The composition of the product in this series includes sodium bicarbonate, sodium fluoride, chlorhexidine, aluminum lactate and other components. The advantage of the drug is that it contains extracts of medicinal herbs: myrrh, sage, St. John's wort, green tea. Lakalut Phytoformula does not contain aggressive components that could cause irritation of the oral mucosa: antiseptics, large abrasive particles, antibiotics. For this reason, the drug is approved for daily use.
Dentists recommend using the drug Fitoformula for bleeding gums, for the prevention of caries and to combat plaque, which turns into stone over time. Plant extracts cope well with the signs of periodontal inflammation and normalize the pH balance of the oral cavity and inhibit the activity of pathogenic flora that causes caries.
Dentists advise using Fitoformula paste together with Lakalut Active between courses. For example, use Fitoformula in the morning, and Active in the evening, or vice versa.
The therapeutic effect of using Lakalut pastes can be enhanced if you use Fresh or Active mouth rinses in combination with them.
Lakalut Phytoformula is sold in plastic tubes of 50, 75 ml. The cost of one unit of goods varies from 180 to 200 rubles. Store the paste at a temperature of 2 to 20 degrees.
Basic
The BASIC product has a complex effect on the oral cavity: protective, tonic, antiseptic. After using the gel, fresh breath remains for 10–12 hours, which is due to the inhibition of the activity of pathogenic microorganisms.
In addition to the classic mint taste, the series also includes pastes with the aroma of citrus, black currant, and ginger. Lakalut Vasic pastes are considered one of the most effective in preventing tartar.
Sensitive
The drug is specially intended for people with sensitive periodontal tissues. Another indication for use of the product is cervical caries, therapy after whitening. The main component of the drug is amino fluoride, which is rarely used by other toothpaste manufacturers due to its high cost.
After using Lakalut Sensitive, there is a decrease in the susceptibility of tooth enamel and gums to cold and hot foods. The drug is also used for course therapy for up to 60 days.
White
The gel contains a large number of abrasive components that carefully and delicately clean the enamel from food debris and plaque, whitening it several tones. An additional advantage of the product is that it contains substances that increase the resistance of oral tissues to pathogenic bacteria.
The main difference between Lakalut White paste and other oral care products is the absence of hydrogen peroxide in the composition, which can cause irritation of the mucous membranes.
New – White and repair paste. It helps whiten enamel, strengthen it and prevent caries.
Fluor
A distinctive feature of the series is the increased fluoride content in a dosage that is harmless to adults. This gel should be used only after consultation with a dentist. Among the properties of the drug, one can note an increase in the resistance of enamel to acids and other external irritants. In combination with Lakalut Fluor pastes, it is recommended to use a remineralizing gel.
Side effects
If excess cream is not removed in time, it can be absorbed into the body, creating the effect of an overdose of its components.
In case of an overdose, the following conditions may occur from various systems::
- Gastrointestinal tract: diarrhea or nausea.
- Immune system: allergic reactions.
- Nervous system: weakness, drowsiness, dizziness.
- Oral cavity: excessive salivation.
If during use any of the above symptoms, discomfort or discomfort in the gums appear, you should immediately consult your doctor. In this case, it is better to temporarily abandon its use.
Any means for fixing dentures on the gums should be used as prescribed by a doctor. A specialist will help determine which cream is best for a particular patient and assess the likelihood of allergic reactions.
If side effects occur, the dentist will prescribe another cream to fix artificial structures in the oral cavity.
Compound

is the main component from which the name comes. This lactic acid salt is extremely beneficial for tooth enamel. Aluminum lactate also has an anti-inflammatory and astringent effect, helps with high enamel sensitivity, and reduces bleeding gums. - Aluminum fluoride
reliably protects against caries and strengthens enamel. - Chlorhexedine,
due to its bactericidal properties, prevents the formation of bacterial plaque, and if it has already appeared, it destroys it. - Allantoin
