This review found insufficient evidence to determine the best adhesive for orthodontic bands. More high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to assess band retention and caries prevention during orthodontic treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Dental Materials Science
  • Cariology

Background:

  • Fixed orthodontic appliances offer superior treatment outcomes compared to removable ones.
  • Secure attachment of orthodontic bands to molar teeth is crucial for successful fixed appliance treatment.
  • Adhesive selection for bands impacts treatment reliability and caries prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate adhesive effectiveness for orthodontic bands in fixed appliance therapy.
  • To assess the frequency of band debonding during orthodontic treatment.
  • To determine the caries-preventive efficacy of different adhesives used for banding molar teeth.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic search of multiple electronic databases and internet resources.
  • Inclusion of randomized and controlled clinical trials, including split-mouth designs.

  • Data extraction and validity assessment conducted by multiple reviewers.

    • Main Results:

    • Eight trials (5 RCTs, 3 CCTs) met inclusion criteria, all employing a split-mouth design.
    • Comparisons included zinc phosphate, glass ionomer, and compomer adhesives.
    • Inappropriate data analysis was noted in several included studies.

    Conclusions:

    • Current evidence is insufficient to identify the optimal adhesive for orthodontic bands.
    • Further high-quality randomized controlled trials are necessary.
    • Research should focus on band retention and caries prevention efficacy.
