A PUBLIC SAFETY MESSAGE
Denture Adhesive Products Containing Zinc
Click on the following links for the March 1st, 2010 Public Safety Message from the President of the College of Denturists of Ontario
In October the College Board after receiving a report from the Quality Assurance Committee, broadcasted a message to its members warning them of a potential danger of excessive use of
denture adhesive containing zinc. It is well established that the absorption of zinc by the body can lead to hypocupremia and neurologic symptoms.
The President of the College of Denturists of Ontario takes this opportunity to inform the membership that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), amid lawsuits, has withdrawn its Zinc containing products from the market.
The following products contain Zinc and it is recommended that Denturists recommend to their clients not to use these products:
Super Poligrip Original, Poligrip Ultra Fresh and Poligrip Extra Care. Patients should be advised to use denture adhesives that do not contain Zinc.
If a patient has been using zinc-containing Super Poligrip 'Original', 'Ultra Fresh' or 'Extra Care' for several years, or in greater amounts than directed on the package, or more than once per day,or have concerns about their health, they must stop using the product and seek their doctor’s advice.
