During the cementation of bands, where is the cement placed?

  1. Only on the outer surface of the band

  2. On all surfaces within the band

  3. Only on the inner surface of the band

  4. Only on the edges of the band

The correct answer is: On all surfaces within the band

The correct approach during the cementation of bands involves applying cement on all surfaces within the band. This ensures a comprehensive bond between the band and the tooth structure, providing stability and reducing the likelihood of the band loosening. When cement is placed on all surfaces, it can effectively fill any gaps and create a secure fit, which is essential for supporting orthodontic appliances and achieving the desired tooth movement. Cementing only on the outer surface, the inner surface, or just the edges would not provide sufficient adhesion or coverage. Adequate cementation on all surfaces allows for optimal distribution and strength, which is crucial for the long-term success of orthodontic treatment.
