The science behind Polident Adhesive
Polident adhesive helps improve denture performance
Proven to hold dentures for up to 12 hours and increase bite force by approximately 1–2kg*1,2
*vs. no adhesive
Dual polymer system
Polident adhesives’ dual polymer system is designed to maintain denture performance when individual patient factors limit retention.3,4
Polident adhesives 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, then 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 denture.2
