Fixodent Plus Anti-Particle Barrier is a premium adhesive cream for full and partial dentures. Its formula helps prevent food particles from getting trapped under the dentures, and its fine tip allows for precise application.
Fixodent Plus Anti-Particle Barrier is a premium adhesive cream for dental appliances. Its formula combines 33% calcium/zinc copolymer and 20% cellulose gum: when exposed to moisture in the mouth, these two components swell and form a thin, flexible layer between the denture and the gums. This layer acts as both a seal and a cushion, and it is suitable for both full and partial dentures.
The cream works by sealing the gap through which food particles can pass. A grain of rice, a hazelnut piece, or a seed that slips under a denture quickly becomes painful and forces you to remove the denture in the middle of a meal. When applied along the entire contact line, the cream helps prevent food particles from getting lodged under your dentures, which makes a big difference, especially when eating out, where you may not have a toothbrush or sink available.
The second function is hold. The adhesive film limits the small rocking motions that rub against the gums and make chewing difficult. The manufacturer claims strong all-day hold with a single application in the morning, allowing you to eat, talk, and laugh without worrying about your dentures. The cream is unscented: it doesn’t alter the taste of food and doesn’t leave a minty sensation in the mouth.
The tube’s fine tip makes a big difference in how it’s used. It applies an even bead from one edge to the other without overloading the center of the retainer: this precise application prevents the cream from spilling onto the gums, which is the main cause of a sticky sensation and unpleasant taste. If you already have your denture care kit, this cream fits right in without changing your routine; otherwise, the “cleaning and maintenance of dental appliances” category includes the products you’ll use daily.
Adhesive cream will only adhere properly to a clean, dry denture: residue from the previous day, mixed with biofilm, prevents the film from sticking and contributes to bad breath. We therefore recommend daily soaking with Polident 3-Minute tablets, which remove plaque and cream residue while the dentures are out of your mouth. The dentures are then rinsed, dried, and the next day’s cream adheres to a clean surface.
Instructions for Use
On clean, dry dentures, apply thin strips of cream using the fine tip, avoiding the edges, then place the dentures in your mouth and press firmly for a few seconds. One application per day is sufficient: if the cream oozes out, it means too much was applied. To remove the dentures, rinse your mouth with lukewarm water and gently wiggle the dentures until they come loose.

The main concern with this cream isn’t its normal use—it’s the gradual drift that occurs without you noticing. Dentures fit less well over the years because the jawbone slowly resorbs beneath the dentures. To compensate, you might apply a little more cream, then a second application later in the day—and before you know it, you’ve used up a tube in ten days instead of five weeks. It is this pattern, continued over months, that has been linked to neurological damage caused by excessive zinc—not the thin line applied once each morning. The rule of thumb is simple: if a tube runs out too quickly, the problem is mechanical and can be fixed in a dentist’s chair, not in the bathroom.
For daily care, we recommend removing the appliance every evening and soaking it overnight or for a few minutes, depending on the cleanser used. Cream residue also sticks to the gums: wiping the gum line with a damp gauze pad or a soft-bristled brush before bed prevents buildup that can eventually irritate the mucous membrane. Finally, a checkup with your dentist once a year is still important even without natural teeth—your dentist will check the fit of the appliance and examine your oral mucosa.
Can I use Fixodent Plus Anti-Particle Barrier every day?
Yes, once daily on a clean, dry denture. The manufacturer’s guideline is based on the tube’s duration: a 35-gram tube should last at least four to five weeks. If you go through it much faster than that, you’re using too much, and this excess is what puts you at risk of a zinc overdose.
Can I apply Fixodent Plus Anti-Particle Barrier to a partial denture?
Yes, this cream is designed for both full and partial dentures. On a partial denture, apply the cream in thin strips to the resin base—never on the metal clasps or on any remaining natural teeth.
My denture still moves despite using Fixodent Plus Anti-Particle Barrier—what should I do?
Do not increase the amount used or apply a second layer. A denture that wobbles or causes discomfort needs to be readjusted: only a dentist or dental technician can correct this through relining or repair. The adhesive cream improves the comfort of a well-fitting denture; it does not correct a denture that has become too loose.
Can I take a zinc supplement while using Fixodent Plus Anti-Particle Barrier?
Medical advice is necessary before combining the two. The cream already contains zinc, a small amount of which is swallowed with each meal, and adding a dietary supplement increases the total intake. The same caution applies to the simultaneous use of another zinc-containing adhesive cream.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects millions of people. Characterised by the gradual breakdown of joint cartilage and the development of marginal osteophytes (the so-called ‘parrot’s beaks’), it causes chronic pain and debilitating stiffness. Whilst conventional allopathic treatments help during flare-ups, many patients turn to natural alternatives. Among these, holistic medicine offers personalised solutions.
