Effect of Ultrasonic ZnPO4 Cement Removal on Band Adhesion and Cement Solubility Under Orthodontic Bands

RICHARD L. SHAVER 1, IVENS A. SIEGEL 1, and JACK I. NICHOLLS 1

The use of ultrasonic energy to remove excess ZnPO4 cement from orthodontic bands reduces the solubility of the cement but does not affect band adhesion unless excessive band contact is made. Excessive band contact weakens band-to-tooth adhesion. The solubility of the cement is increased by decreasing the pH and is increased when organic anions capable of binding metal ions are present.
