Si te acaban de poner una prótesis dental completa o parcial, o estás próximo a ello, este artículo te interesa.
El adhesivo o pegamento dental es un producto o sustancia que se emplea para fijar una prótesis de quita y pon a la encía del paciente. En el mercado existen distintos tipos de pegamento dental y por ello, es importante conocer sus distinto usos para usarlos con seguridad y comodidad.
A lo largo de la historia han existido diferentes tipos de adhesivos dentales. Elegir cuál es el mejor fijador para dentaduras postizas es una tarea complicada, ya que dependerá del usuario. Si que es importante evitar aquellos que contengan zinc, ya que este elemento produce efectos negativos en la salud.
Esta clase de adhesivos se aplican directamente a la dentadura seca o ligeramente húmeda, y luego se coloca en el interior de la boca. Su apariencia es parecida a las pastas dentales.
Las almohadillas se recortan para adaptarse al tamaño de la prótesis y luego se coloca en la dentadura postiza con el lado adhesivo, que posteriormente se humedece y se coloca en su lugar.
Es una de las opciones más antiguas. Son muy fáciles de usar y no afectan el movimiento de la mordido si se colocan bien. Uno de sus grandes problemas es que se disuelven con agua. Por tanto, la saliva puede ir desgastándolos. Esto hace que no sean tan confiables como las otras opciones que mencionamos.
Los pegamentos para dentaduras postizas se aplican solo una vez al día, ya que su uso continuado puede irritar la encía.
Para aplicarte la mayoría de estos productos debes seguir algunos pasos básicos:
Un gran número de estudios evidencia que el uso de adhesivos no sólo consigue disminuir el movimiento de la prótesis, sino que también consigue mejorar la función masticatoria impidiendo que se separe de los tejidos de soporte.
Gracias también al efecto de relleno, los adhesivos dentales disminuyen el acumulo de partículas bajo las prótesis reduciendo el mal olor, mal sabor y la posible irritación de la mucosa debido al acúmulo de alimentos.
Aunque los adhesivos dentales no son dañinos para el resto de tus dientes o tejido gingival, es importante limpiar la prótesis después de cada comida para eliminar cualquier resto de alimento, así como de adhesivo.
La aplicación del pegamento dental no debe durar más de un uso y al adquirir el hábito de limpiarlas continuamente evitamos la acumulación de bacterias que pueden provocar afecciones u otros problemas de salud bucodental.
Ahora que sabes que tipo de pegamentos existen, tan sólo queda que elijas entre las diferentes marcas que existen en el mercado, el que mejor te convenga para fijar tu prótesis dental removible.
También es importante que consultes con tu dentista de confianza cuál es el tipo de pegamento dental que mejor se ajusta a ti para que la dentadura postiza no afecte tu vida diaria. Si lo necesitas ¡pide tu cita ya con nosotros!

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
