title: [An instrument for positioning elastic ligatures (ligature instrument)].
abstract: The ligature instrument is constructed for placing in position elastomeric ligatures. The instrument has two types--one designed for fore-teeth area and one for premolars and molars--traditional or ergonomical aspects were taken into consideration with metal or sterilizable plastic handle. This instrument fills a long felt gap because to complete this process until now no such type of special instrument existed.
