Maarc Articulating Paper – Soft, smooth, non-sticking, sensitive surface for marking at every point of articulation. All films are available with double-sided color coating for the marking of antagonistic contacts.
Articulating paper is a diagnostic tool used in dentistry to highlight occlusal contacts and the distribution of occlusal forces. That is, it marks those points on the teeth where the teeth contact during biting and grinding. Articulating paper is made of a thin, non-adhesive paper strip covered in fluorescent ink or dye-containing wax. A strip of articulating paper is placed between the teeth while the desired mandibular movements are performed.
Indications :
- It is used to check the occlusal surfaces of newly placed dental restorations, such as fillings or crowns, and dental prostheses, such as dentures or bridges.
- It is also used to highlight occlusal interferences in bruxism.
Advantages :
- Maarc articulating papers are coated with easy transferable ink, so it accurately highlights occlusal contacts.
- It comes in various thickness.
- Maarc articulating paper comes with progressive color transfer and aids in visualising static occlusion.
- Because of its low thickness and flexibility, it adapts perfectly to cusps and fossae, making it extremely precise and therefore suitable for more delicate preparations.
- Blue & Red both in one articulating paper so that one arch is marked in red and the opposing arch is marked in blue.
