Can Super Glue be Used to Repair Dental Prosthetics?

I have successfully used it on open wounds instead of stitches with no ill effect. I do not know about orally but if it can go in an open wound I personally would use it.

Me too. It should be harmless once it's dry. I can't guarantee anything though.

I once had a temporary filling come out and I still had a couple more days until I went back to the dentist.......................I dried it out with a hair dryer and filled the tooth with quick set epoxy.

Years ago a similar thing happened to me during a business trip! Luckily the hotel had a gift shop and sold small tubes of superglue, and I was able to fix the problem before a meeting with some customers. I went to the dentist and got the thing replaced as soon as I got back home.

Superglue is sometimes used by surgeons instead of stitches. I think it's an OK temporary fix.

Years ago I repaired my wife's bridge with super glue. One of the feeth popped out. This was back before all the more pure acrylic adhesives were aailable. It worked well and lasted for 6 months, as I recall.

If you do this, be sure all unreacted acrylic monomer and catalyst are removed and the adhesive is well cured.

I have also used super glue as a temporary fix for my one unit bridge with no ill effects.

As has already been mentioned, make sure the glue is completely set up before insertion.

If you have further concerns regarding chemicals, do a Google search of "Super Glue Ingredients" and decide for yourself.

Not knowing what plastics the dentures are made of I wouldn't recommend it. Some plastic do not bond well with super glues. Example would be the bottle it's in and the cap seal. You may also do more harm then good when you have to take them to get properly repaired. Here again not knowing the composition of the plastic in solvents in the glue may break it down. The repair may just be temporary even if you do. Moisture and enzymes in you saliva may break it down over time. Shear forces in chewing may cause it to break again while in your mouth. I wouldn't chance the possibility damage to the inside of my mouth or choking on a broken piece . Take them and have them properly repaired

I want to thank you so very much for your help! I purchased the D.O.C. and it worked great! You saved me not only a possible seriously potential medical problem as well as money and time. Thank you again and I really appreciate the help! Coming to this site has been a great experience and I will continue to seek questions from intelligent people like you who contribute to what it's intended! Gratefully yours.......Birdie!

P.S. There really wasn't any bad advise.....we just all have different ways

of doing things! This however was the best answer of all!!! Thanks everyone who contributed!

Did the correct repair system have an olfactory signature?

Loc-tite makes a line of Medical adhesives used mostly in building of medical devices, often used in body and blood contact. Contact a local Loc-tite distributor who stores these materials properly.

These are not the adhesives used to close wounds.

Lots of good replies, (super glue) sometimes in moist conditions will weaken. Another so called super glue is Gorilla Glue.. I have used it with amazing results but check the MSDS sheets no matter what you use.

Years ago a friend of mines wife broke a crown off one of her front teeth,I had some Dev-con instant glue and used that to reattach the tooth and it was still good 10 years later,No discolouration & invisible to boot.

My procedure is to rinse the dirt off the wound and then apply cayenne powder directly to the laceration. This has the effect of stopping the bleeding incredibly quickly. (I have no idea how well this would or wouldn't work for arterial bleeding.) It is also said to offer some anti bacterial properties. Krazy Glue KraxAfter that, I will treat it with a natural herbal cream, aloe, or whatever, and bandage it up.Not too long ago, we had visitors and someone got cut on their leg in the kitchen and just couldn't get the bleding stopped. We were getting blood everywhere. Not pretty. I went to the closet, got out the cayenne, sprinkled it on, and presto, back to serving company and cleaning the blood off the kitchen floor.

I once had a temporary filling come out and I still had a couple more days until I went back to the dentist.
