Abstract
To evaluate the amount of separation produced by four types of orthodontic separators viz. the Elastomeric separator, Kesling separator, Kansal separator and Dumbbell separator. The patient was evaluated for 5 days for amount of separation. Time taken for adequate separation was significant in all the 4 separators; dumbbell being the fastest followed by elastomeric separator. There was no significant difference between kesling and kansal separator in time taken to achieve adequate separation.
