Denture Fixative: Corega Fixative Science and Formulation
Corega fixative helps to improve denture performance
Proven to hold dentures for up to 12 hours and increase bite force by up to 38% 2
Denture Adhesives Help Maintain Denture Performance When Oral Anatomy Is Limited 6,9
*vs. no fixative
Dual polymer system
Denture fixatives can help stabilise, secure and maintain denture performance.3,4
Corega fixative dual polymer system consists of two ingredients: carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and Poly(Methylvinylether/maleic acid) Sodium-Calcium Mixed Partial Salt8.
- 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
Corega helps seal and protect against food entrapment
Corega fixative sealing action helps reduce food entrapment between the denture and mucosa by 74%.*5

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