Introduction: Elastomeric ligatures reduce chairside time but increase friction. Polymeric coatings and 45° angulations have been introduced to the ligature modules to combat its disadvantages and reduce friction. This in vitro study compared the frictional characteristics of six different types of the most commonly used elastomeric modules.

Introduction: An elastomeric module with a polymeric coating has been developed to reduce the friction of sliding mechanics. This in-vitro study examined the stability of the coating and compared the frictional properties of coated modules with those of other common ligation methods.
Methods: Six ligation methods (regular uncoated, slick [coated], conventional silver, easy-to-tie, silicone-impregnated, and standard silver modules) were used with standard stainless steel brackets and 0.
