Articulating Paper

Precision diagnostic tools for dental professionals

Articulating paper is essential for dental professionals who prioritise precise diagnostics in their practice. This tool is invaluable during bite checks and occlusal adjustments, enabling dentists to clearly see and adjust how teeth meet.

Such precision is crucial when fitting dental restorations, crowns or appliances, as they conform comfortably to the patient’s bite. Accurate adjustments enhance the treatment's effectiveness and boost patient comfort and satisfaction significantly.

FAQs

What do articulating papers do in dentistry?

Articulating paper is a diagnostic tool used by dentists to detect contact points between the upper and lower teeth during biting. It helps identify high spots, premature contacts or inadequate margins on dental restorations.

It keeps every dental work aligned and comfortable for the patient. This tool is crucial for accurate bite adjustment and verification and helps optimise the fit and function of dental appliances like crowns, dentures and other restorations.

What is the difference between red and blue articulating paper?

The primary difference between red and blue articulating paper lies in the contrast they provide against different dental materials. Red articulating paper is typically used against lighter-coloured dental materials, as it stands out clearly, making it easier to see the markings.

Blue articulating paper, on the other hand, provides excellent visibility against darker dental surfaces. The choice of colour depends on the materials predominantly used in the dental practice and personal preference for visibility.

What thickness of articulating paper is used in dentistry?

The thickness of dental articulating paper can vary, generally ranging from 40 micrometres (µm) to 200 micrometres (µm). Thinner papers, closer to 40µm, are often used for more precise bite adjustments as they can indicate very subtle contact points.

Thicker papers, up to 200µm, are used for clearer indications of occlusal force and contact. The choice of thickness may depend on the specific diagnostic needs, the complexity of the dental adjustments and the dentist's preference for sensitivity and accuracy in marking.
