As superglue is used in surgery, could it be used to temporary repair dentures?

No : It is actually a different type of formulation meant to stay in place for a few days and then dissapear. I have found over the years that people that try and repair it themselves actually do more harm than good. It may make it even more difficult to repair your denture properly. Best not to take the risk.

Yes: But this is a temporary fix not a permed ant fix. You must be carful with the superglue so that it does not get all over your denture. Ten you need to be carful not to bite on that tooth.

Denture repair: Hi, try to put it in place and see if it goes in just perfect. If it does, you can try to use some cyanoaccrylate (super glue) as a temporary mean. Be sure you have the denture sitting in water for 10 mins after the repair. Hot water is better (not boiling). That will help to wash out the monomer of the glue and will reduce the risk for irritation if it touches the gums. Then see your dds for fix.

Superglue for dentur: I have seen many people try it, but it usually does not last for maore than a few days. It is usually soluable in water or saliva.

No: The glue used for surgery is not superglue. In a moist environment like the mouth the superglue will fail and it is toxic. See your dentist about a repair.
