Mdm Articulating Paper is soft, smooth and non-sticking. The super-sensitive paper is great for marking at every point of articulation. The horseshoe-shaped articulated papers are especially useful for patients who tend to bite unilaterally during the occlusion test due to diminished resilience. Has a high resistance to tearing.
COMPOSITION -
Mdm Articulating paper is made of a thin, non-adhesive paper strip covered in fluorescent ink or dye-containing wax.
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.
Articulating paper is manufactured as books of many leaves which are torn out and used when required.
Example uses of articulating paper include: It is routinely 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 interferencesin persons with bruxism.
Advantages:
Thin.
