Abstract

Band materials are fixed to tooth surfaces using a variety of luting cements. One common unfavorable property present in most of the cements is more dissolubility in liquid intakes and inadequate bond strength, are major factors for demineralization beneath bands. Glass ionomer cement used on regular basis has antibacterial property, but it is very minimal and covers a narrow range of micro-organisms and has a low bactericidal potential. Therefore, in most of the cases it has been noticed that GIC alone is not capable of preventing plaque accumulation and microbial development of periodontal disease and caries in majority of patients. Hence, it becomes really very important to have a complete knowledge about the influence of the cement that is used in orthodontics on the various microorganisms (bacteria, etc.). This may include impact on bacterial existence, adhesion and biofilm formation. So, it is necessary to check the interaction of orthodontic cement with these bacteria along with their effect on bacterial viability, adhesion and biofilm formation. The present analysis focuses on how to check antimicrobial features in glass ionomer cement by incorporating Calendula officinalis.
