Protefix® Adhesive Cushions

This fine, woven fleece, well tolerated by the palate, is used mainly during the bridging period, while wearing a temporary denture.

It contains sodium alginate which also increases the fixative power shortly after being moistened. For some denture wearers with large adhesion problems - if nothing else will hold - Protefix® Adhesive Cushions are the last solution.

Solution for the bridging period

• Used for interim dentures
• Fills hollows resulting from jaw regression
• Proved to be very helpful at excessive bone loss on the lower jaw in old age
• The cushions offer effective protection against pressure points and inflammations
• Hygienic solution as it is replaced daily, easy to use

Important note:
Only for full dentures. Not for partial dentures including push-on fitting or conical crowns.
