Özet: Aim: To evaluate the rapidity  and  amount  of  separation  of  four different types of separators (i.e. Elastomeric separators, Dumbbell separators, Kesling springs and NEET springs) and also the percentage of loss of these separators. Materials and Methods: The separating effect of 4 different types of separators (i.e. Elastomeric separators, Dumbbell separators, Kesling springs and NEET springs) were assessed for 3 days, and the separated space between molars and premolars were noted separately for three consecutive days. The number and types of lost separators were recorded at the same  time.  The amount  of  separation  between  molars and 2nd premolar in each quadrant was measured separately with a leaf gauge (sensitivity 5/100mm)  and  noted on each day. Result: Dumbbell separators proved to be the fastest in producing separation and they produced consistently greater amount of separation on all three days. Conclusion: The Dumbbell separator would be ideal for situations  where  in  rapid  separation  is  needed,  and  also    in cases where in the patient comes with the  loss  of  separators.
