ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an impacted tooth ligation chain having at one end a tooth loop to encircle the impacted tooth and between such loop and its other end a plurality of eyelets. In practice, the tooth encircling loop is slipped around the impacted tooth crown after surgically exposing it by removing a flap of tissue. After tightening the loop about the tooth and surgically closing the wound, a ligature elastic thread is secured to an eyelet of the ligation chain, tensioned, and then secured to a bracket or arch wire in the patient's mouth.
