The science behind Polident Adhesive
Dual polymer system
Polident advesives’ dual polymer system is designed to maintain denture performance when individual patient factors limit retention.
Polident fixative 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, 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 denture2

Maintaining denture performance
The Polident denture adhesive dual polymer system is designed to maintain denture performance when patients need it the most.
