Aim: This cross sectional descriptive study aims at finding the sizes of preformed molar bands of five different companies to provide a reference data.
Method: Assorted boxes of five different companies were selected randomly based on the easy availability of the brands in the market. The mesiodistal and labiolingual dimensions of the preformed bands were measured and the spreadsheet was created. Statistical evaluation was carried out. One way ANOVA was conducted which revealed overall inner area of bands of a particular size for all the five brands mentioned in the study was almost similar.
Results: One way ANOVA was conducted which revealed overall inner area of bands of a particular size for all the five brands mentioned in the study was almost similar.
Conclusions: A reference chart had been created for future compliance during banding procedures.
