Features:

• Horseshoe shape: Designed to fit comfortably in the patient’s mouth and focus on the occlusal surfaces of the teeth.
• Blue color: Provides high visibility of contact marks made during the bite test.
• Progressive color transfer: Lighter marks indicate lighter contact, while darker marks indicate heavier contact, helping dentists identify areas requiring adjustment.
• Thinness: Allows for precise detection of even minor occlusal discrepancies.

How it’s used:

1. The dentist places the articulating paper on the patient’s teeth.
2. The patient bites down gently.
3. The dentist removes the paper and examines the contact marks left behind.
4. Based on the location and intensity of the marks, the dentist can identify areas where the teeth are not contacting evenly and determine if any adjustments are needed.
