What instrument is part of the setup for seating and cementing a molar band?

Explorer
Bite stick
Scaler
Cotton plier

The correct answer is: Bite stick

A Explorer is a sharp dental instrument used to detect decay or cavities in the tooth. A Scaler is a tool that is used to remove plaque and tartar by scraping them off the teeth. A Cotton plier is used to hold and manipulate small objects in the mouth. A Bite stick is a device used for positioning and securing a molar band during the seating and cementing process. It is designed to fit around the tooth and provide a stable surface for the band to adhere to. The other options do not serve the specific purpose of seating and cementing a molar band.
