Question for a specialist
For people who wear removable dentures, today there is a wide range of fixing creams that help them feel more comfortable and confident in everyday life. However, choosing an option that meets the highest quality standards without studying detailed information about products in this category and without practical experience is quite difficult. That is why we continue to introduce you to the most famous and most effective means. This material is about ROCS cream

Manufacturer information

Rox cream is created by specialists from the group (DRC). This is a Russian-Swiss enterprise that has several large production sites and three research laboratories. The company creates cosmetics and medications, but it is most famous in the world for its oral care products – toothpastes and toothbrushes. In 2014, the ROCS brand received the seal of approval1 from the Russian Dental Association for high-quality toothbrushes for adults and children.

Cream for dentures "Rox" was developed in a scientific laboratory in Switzerland, so the company positions it as a product that has properties and characteristics that meet international quality standards.

Precautionary measures

During the period of using ROCS cream, it is necessary to adhere to certain precautions that will ensure reliable fixation, extend the service life of the prosthesis and protect the mucous membrane from injury.

What can't you do?

During use, it is necessary to take into account some points that can lead to the loss of the properties of the cream:

1. Do not leave it open or with the lid loose. This will cause drying and reduced absorbency. In addition, the product will be difficult to apply to the surface of the prosthesis.
2. The dispenser spout should always remain dry , as moisture promotes the accumulation of germs.
3. Do not store the cream in a cold place . In its structure, it resembles a very dense mass, and a low temperature quickly leads to its hardening, which complicates the application process.
4. Too hot products lead to weakening of the fixing properties .

Oral care after removal

After removing the prosthesis, not only it, but also the oral cavity needs careful care. Since during wearing the mucous membrane is constantly exposed to the structure and cream, it is necessary to carry out regular rehabilitation procedures :

• after removal, it is necessary to rinse your mouth with anti-inflammatory decoctions prepared from medicinal plants. Sage, chamomile, oak bark and calendula help well in this case;
• in addition to decoctions, it is recommended to carry out aseptic treatment using miramistin or chlorhexidine ;
• in order to prevent the development of gum inflammation, it is necessary to apply medicinal gels Metrogil-Dent or Cholisal .

In the absence of measures to rehabilitate the mucous membrane, it may be subject to constant irritation or rubbing, which will result in severe inflammation.

In this video, experts talk about proper oral care for patients who wear removable dentures, including fixing and removing the structure:

Description and composition of ROCS cream

This product is suitable for fixing partial removable and fully removable devices. It has a viscous thick consistency. Due to its composition, it ensures strong adhesion of the prosthesis to the mucous membrane, creates a tight connection between them, which prevents the entry of air, food particles and liquids, as well as bacteria. The fixing cream contains a minimum amount of ingredients: silicon dioxide, menthol, lecithin, potassium and sodium salts, water-soluble polymers, xylitol. Due to water-soluble polymers that absorb moisture, the cream increases in mass and creates the necessary layer.

The composition does not contain zinc or dyes, so it can be used by people prone to allergic reactions and those who have sensitive mucous membranes. Thanks to a component such as xylitol, the product has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect, it helps fight the first signs of gum inflammation: bleeding, swelling, itching and soreness.

Xylitol is a natural sweetener obtained from vegetables and fruits. This component is safe for people who still have natural teeth in their mouths, because... it prevents the formation of caries and promotes enamel remineralization. Numerous studies also confirm that xylitol improves the overall health of the oral cavity and has a beneficial effect on the mucous membranes.

Indications and contraindications for the use of ROCS composition

“Rox” cream for dentures should be used when the quality of fixation of removable appliances in the oral cavity has significantly weakened. It is necessary to remember that if the structures themselves were initially made with high quality and taking into account your anatomical features, then this situation, in principle, cannot happen immediately after their installation. But after a few years, the quality of fixation of removable devices may quite naturally weaken. This is due to the atrophy of the jaw bone, which will occur under the dentures, and therefore subsidence of the structures in some areas.

If the prosthesis needs correction or repair, as well as relining, then fixing creams will not correct the situation. Adhesive gels and compounds will also not help if the removable device was poorly manufactured and fitted. Here the problem needs to be solved by contacting a professional orthopedic doctor.

You can also use ROCS denture cream when they rub soft tissues, causing irritation of the mucous membrane. The product will make it easier to get used to removable devices, help relieve discomfort, and help prevent food particles from getting stuck under the denture.

There are few contraindications - individual intolerance to the components, as well as inflammation of the gums, which must be treated under the supervision of a doctor (the composition cannot be used if there are ulcers on the mucous membrane).

• poor fixation;
• the presence of irritation and chafing from wearing structures;
• food particles getting under the prosthesis;
• discomfort during the period of adaptation;

What are the most effective care products for removable dentures?

In the next article we will talk about what the cost of an overdenture denture consists of.

Here https://www.vash-dentist.ru/protezirovanie/sredstva-uhoda/krem-protefiks.html you will find reviews of the results of using Protefiks fixing cream.

It is not recommended to use this brand of fixing cream:

• in areas with lesions;
• if you are allergic to the components of the drug;
• with high sensitivity of the gums.

Benefits of the cream

• up to 12 hours of reliable fixation of a removable device designed for the entire or only part of the dentition,
• fresh breath throughout the day: the effect is ensured by the menthol included in the product,
• safety and hypoallergenic, no toxic effect even if swallowed (as claimed by the manufacturer),
• possibility of use in patients with fluorosis and osteoporosis: the composition does not contain fluoride ions, which contribute to the exacerbation of these diseases, and also affect the functioning of the thyroid gland and kidneys,
• antibacterial effect: after applying the cream, an antibacterial film remains on the gums, which protects them from attack by pathogenic microorganisms throughout the day,
• protection of soft tissues from injury and chafing,
• protecting gums from inflammation,
• quick adaptation to removable dentures,
• the ability to eat hot food and drink hot drinks: many fixing creams weaken their effect after hot meals, but the manufacturer assures that you will not have such problems with ROCS,
• increasing the level of comfort during the operation of removable systems: the manufacturer claims that the product ensures absolute tightness, i.e. Neither food nor liquid will penetrate under the structure after applying the cream.

What does it represent?

ROCS cream is a product that allows you to create an elastic shock-absorbing layer in the gap formed between the denture and the soft tissues of the oral cavity.

This pillow provides a strong hold and reduces discomfort during adaptation.

Who produces?

The ROCS fixing agent was developed and produced by a group of Russian-Swiss companies DRC . The holding has its own scientific laboratory, where all data on prosthetic devices is collected and analyzed.

This allows them to create highly efficient products that meet European requirements. Two production sites of the DRC group provide fixing cream to most countries in the world.

Product quality is confirmed by relevant ISO 9001-2008 certificates.

Ingredients

The main components of such products are water-soluble polymers and organic sodium or potassium salts. These substances quickly absorb moisture, increasing in mass and forming the necessary layer.

Additional components include preservatives that significantly increase the shelf life of the product. The cream has a menthol flavor added to maintain fresh breath throughout the use of the prosthesis.

The difference between this cream and similar products is that it contains xylitol, a powerful aseptic component. Xylitol not only destroys germs, but also creates an invisible antibacterial film that protects the surface of the oral cavity from the effects of pathogenic microorganisms.

Action

The principle of action of the cream is no different from other means for fixing removable structures. Even with a perfectly fitted prosthesis, microgaps always form between it and the gum.

The soft cream applied to the structure is evenly distributed over the entire surface. Over time, it fills with saliva, increases in volume and increases the adhesion of the prosthesis and soft tissues.

When using a sufficient amount of the product, reliable fixation is ensured, which eliminates even minimal shifts in the structure .

In addition, the resulting elastic layer prevents excessive pressure on the gums and food particles from getting under the denture.

Disadvantage information

The main disadvantage is the relatively high cost. The product is sold in 40 ml tubes. For one tube you will have to pay about 250 rubles. On average, this amount of product, when used rationally (once a day), will last you for one or several months. However, some reviews indicate that “Rox” has a rather viscous consistency, it is difficult to apply and distribute evenly over the prosthesis, so calculating the required concentration of cream for comfortable use can be quite difficult.

Instructions for use

To have a positive effect, the cream for fixing dentures must be used correctly and according to the instructions:

1. apply the product only to a previously cleaned prosthesis,
2. first apply the product pointwise, and then distribute it evenly over the entire surface,
3. remove any remaining food from your mouth, rinse your mouth thoroughly and spit out the saliva,
4. Press the structure firmly against the mucous membrane for a few seconds and close your jaws.

Once the removable device has been secured in your mouth, refrain from consuming food or liquid. You will be able to have a snack only 15-30 minutes after this. If you start eating earlier, the cream will not have time to fully demonstrate its fixing properties and form an airtight layer, and the denture will not stay in place well.

ROCS cream is a super-strong hold product, so if you're just starting to use it, be careful not to apply a large amount of product at once.

Product storage rules

ROCS fixing cream will retain its positive properties throughout its shelf life (2 years from the date of manufacture) only if you store it correctly. Remember that the product should not be left open or placed in the refrigerator. It has a dense consistency, after exposure to high temperatures and air, the composition will become even more dense and dry, which is why you will have difficulty applying it. In addition, if you do not seal the tube tightly, pathogenic microorganisms may enter it.
