Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / March 2006glue that is non-toxic in mouth?
I have a plastic retainer for 3 weeks and it cracked today when I was removing it -- I used a little bit more force than I needed. The crack is at the front down the middle. It would cost > $100 to get a new one. Is there any type of glue I can use that is harmless inside the mouth when dried? The retainer still feel ok even with this crack. However, the crack would probably get longer and eventually the retainer would break into two. Even if I buy a replacement, it may still crack again. I cannot afford to keep buying $100 retainer every month for the rest of my life. Crazy Glue is cyanoacrylate ....... cyanic acid I guess, but who know ....... A colourless poisonous volatile liquid acid that hydrolyze readily to ammonia and carbon dioxide. Joel How about a small denture repair for $25? peter Wrote: > I have a plastic retainer for 3 weeks and it cracked today when I was > removing it -- I used a little bit more force than I needed.

The use of cyanoacrylate glues in medicine was considered fairly early on. Eastman Kodak and Ethicon began studying whether the glues could be used to hold human tissue together after surgery. In 1964, Eastman submitted an application to use cyanoacrylate glues to seal wounds to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Soon afterward Dr. Harry Coover's glue did find use in Vietnam--reportedly in 1966, cyanoacrylates were tested on-site by a specially trained surgical team, with impressive results. In an interview with Dr. Coover by the Kingsport Times-News, Coover said that the compound demonstrated an excellent capacity to stop bleeding, and during the Vietnam War, he developed disposal cyanoacrylate sprays for use in the battlefield. "If somebody had a chest wound or open wound that was bleeding, the biggest problem they had was stopping the bleeding so they could get the patient back to the hospital. And the consequence was--many of them bled to death. So the medics used the spray, stopped the bleeding, and were able to get the wounded back to the base hospital. And many, many lives were saved," Coover said Joseph Wrote: > On Fri, 03 Mar 2006 01:20:37 GMT, Joel344 <joeleichen@yahoo.com > wrote [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > bleeding, and were able to get the wounded back to the base hospital > And many, many lives were saved," Coover said Right Not a good idea, IMO.

No don't use glue, esp. super glue. It's worth a visit to your dentist, maybe he/she can make the repair or get a new one if that is not possible. You don't want toxins like this in your mouth.

We encourage mucilage or Elmer's School Glue. It will not hold at all but ast least its not pizin. You can also use flour and water ........ but that can be fattening too.

They said it was better than stitches. I don't imagine they'd be doing this if it was so dangerous. > No don't use glue, esp. super glue.

When I first got surgery in '01 and the doc took the bandage off and I saw the staples it freaked me out. I was new to this plus it hurt to take the taping stuff off. But removing the staples were for the most part a walk in the park which I didn't expect.
