Where is cement placed during the cementation of bands?

Cement is placed on the inner surface of the band during the cementation process. The inner surface is designed to properly adhere to the tooth structure for a secure fit. When bands are cemented, the intention is for the cement to create a strong bond between the band and the tooth, allowing for stability and support for orthodontic appliances.

This technique ensures that the band remains in place during the course of treatment, preventing any unnecessary movement that could compromise alignment or positioning of the teeth. Proper placement of the cement is crucial in achieving the desired functional and aesthetic outcomes in orthodontic care.
