Articulating Paper For Visible Occlusion is a thin, colored paper used in dentistry to detect occlusion, which refers to how teeth come into contact with each other when biting or chewing. The paper leaves visible marks on the contact points, helping dentists identify areas with excessive pressure or improper alignment.
Here are some key points about articulating paper:
1. Types of Articulating Paper:
Double-sided: Marks both upper and lower teeth simultaneously.
Single-sided: Marks only one surface.
2. Colors: Typically available in red, blue, or black. These colors ensure clear visibility on tooth surfaces.
3. Thickness: It ranges from 40 to 200 microns. Thicker paper is suitable for restorative work, while thinner paper is used for precise adjustments.
4. Applications:
- Checking bite after dental restorations (e.g., fillings, crowns).
- Evaluating occlusion during orthodontic treatments.
- Identifying high-pressure areas causing discomfort or TMJ issues.
5. Alternatives: Articulating film (thinner and more sensitive) or silicone bite indicators can also be used for more precise assessments.
