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