Comparison of dislodgment between two different types of orthodontic separators: An In vivo study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Aim: The elastomeric separators used in orthodontic practice to create a space between adjacent teeth to aid in the accurate placement of orthodontic bands especially for molars, undoubtedly have several advantages over other types of separators, but their iatrogenic potential is overlooked. The aim of this study is to compare elastomeric separators with kansal separator for dislodgement and subsequent gingival displacement. Materials And Method: 60 patients, 26 males and 34 females had two different types of separators (elastomeric separators, kansal separators) placed randomly in right and left quadrants. The subjects were examined for the number of separators lost from 2nd to 10th day. Results: This study shows that the loss of “elastomeric” separators is significantly higher than the “kansal” separators. Subgingival displacement of elastomeric separators was seen in ten patients . Conclusion: Kansal separator since having a connecting bar proved to be safe and effective for tooth separation with less dislodgement.
