Articulating paper is designed as a high-performance diagnostic tool for dental occlusion analysis. Key features include:

Pressure Sensitivity: The paper is engineered to release more dye under higher pressure, allowing for a clear distinction between light and heavy contact points.

Saliva Resistance: High-quality coating ensures that the paper marks effectively even on wet tooth surfaces or restorations.

Dual-Color System: Available in Red and Blue to help differentiate between static biting ("tap-tap") and functional movements (grinding side-to-side).

Smudge-Proof Coating: Designed to transfer color only to the contact points without staining the entire tooth surface.

This product is a professional-grade dental articulating paper used to identify how the upper and lower teeth meet. It acts as a specialized "carbon paper" for the oral cavity. When placed between the teeth, it leaves a colored mark (blue or red) on the specific areas where the teeth touch. This allows dental professionals to visualize high spots, improper alignment, or interference in a patient's bite (occlusion).

Length: 120 mm per strip.

Width: Standard strip width for full arch coverage.

Colors: Available in separate Red and Blue variants.

Material: Often composed of a soft, felt-like paper or thin plastic film base coated with a wax-based or oil-based dye.

Sensitivity: Progressive marking capabilities based on biting force.

Box Contents: Each box contains a total of 120 sheets.

Configuration: The sheets are organized into 10 booklets, with each booklet containing 12 sheets.

Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the dye from drying out or the paper from becoming brittle.

Preparation: Ensure the area to be tested is relatively dry for the most accurate mark transfer.

Placement: Use articulating paper forceps to place a strip onto the lower teeth.

Occlusal Check: Ask the patient to close their mouth and "tap" their teeth together several times.

Functional Check: If checking for lateral movements, ask the patient to slide their jaw side-to-side while the paper is in place.

Adjustment: Remove the paper and use the colored marks as a guide for any necessary dental adjustments (grinding or polishing).

Safety: The dye used is non-toxic and formulated specifically for intraoral use.

Disposability: This is a single-use medical consumable. It must be disposed of after use on a single patient to prevent cross-contamination.

Application: Ideal for checking the fit of new fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, or for diagnosing TMJ-related bite issues.

Warranty: Generally has a shelf life of 2 to 3 years when stored in original, sealed packaging under recommended conditions.
