Schure Band Seater

Description

Schure Band Seater

The Schure band seater is a classic pattern for pressing bands home. You use it after you fit and shape the band. It gives steady force so the band reaches its planned height. There is just one version on this page.

A Classic Banding Pattern

Many clinicians learned banding with a Schure seater. As a result, it still shows up on trays in many offices. If you know the pattern, you will feel at home with this one. If not, check the photo to see its form.

Seating Molar Bands

Molar bands often need the most force. So place the seater on the band edge and press firmly. Then shift to the next spot and press again. Work around the tooth until the band sits level.

Seater or Pusher?

Both tools seat bands, yet they feel different in use:

• A seater like this one suits firm, steady pressure.
• A hand pusher gives fine control for small moves.
• Many teams use both in the same visit.

Protecting the Patient

Warn the patient before you press. Also keep a finger on the opposite side of the tooth to steady the force. In practice, slow pressure is more comfortable than sudden pushes.

Wiping and Checking

Remove cement while it is soft, then rinse. Next, look at the working end for nicks. Also dry the seater fully before sterilizing, because trapped water can leave spots.
