Denture Cream Lawsuit

Linked to Nerve Damage

Neurological Damage Tied to Excess Denture Cream Use

According to researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, people can develop neurological problems from overuse of denture creams.

In their paper published in the prestigious journal Neurology, in 2008, the researchers state, "Denture cream contains zinc, and chronic excessive use may result in hypocupremia and serious neurologic disease."

The researchers found that in the denture-wearing patients they studied, the residual zinc levels were higher than normal - in the range of 1.36 to 4.28 micrograms per millilitre. Levels of 1.10 microgram per mL are considered normal.

One patient complained of weakness in the arms and legs, so much so that she had become wheelchair dependant. She had also developed urinary incontinence and cognitive decline. Another patient complained of weakness in the feet and hands and poor balance. All the patients in the study had been using denture creams for years, and often excessively.

Results from tests done using the denture creams the patients used revealed zinc levels between 17,000 and 34,000 micrograms per gram. The researchers concluded that this was the only "plausible explanation" for the patients abnormally high zinc levels.
