Nowadays, the orthodontic treatment makes necessary to use for a long time fixed-band appliance. This work shows that the presence of funguses, identified from samples taken from the bacterial plaque in patients with banded teeth, do not lead to any pathology. The development of the inflammatory reaction and the increase of the funguses number, are only owing to the quantity of the dental plaque for the reason that hygienics is often wrong. This study prove that hygienics is the only therapeutic, prophylacticly and curative, of any pathogenical aspects due to the being of bands.
