Maarc Articulating Paper 40 µm Blue is a ultra-thin, highly sensitive dental diagnostic material used to detect and record occlusal contact points. Dentists place these thin strips between a patient's upper and lower teeth to reveal exactly how they meet during biting, chewing, or grinding.

At 40 microns (µm), this paper is exceptionally thin and flexible, allowing it to adapt precisely to the intricate grooves (fossae) and peaks (cusps) of the teeth. This micro-thickness prevents false-positive markings, making it ideal for checking delicate restorations like fillings, crowns, veneers, and bridges

Specification

The articulating paper measures 40 µm in thickness and is available in a pack of 10 books. It is made from high-quality paper that ensures accurate occlusal markings. The product is compliant with dental industry standards and is designed for easy handling and application.

Usage

Articulating Paper is used during dental examinations to check occlusion and adjust bite as necessary. It should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its integrity. Proper handling is recommended to avoid tearing or damage to the sheets.

Advanced Technical Features & Benefits

• Progressive Color Transfer: The specialized ink responds dynamically to biting pressure. Light contact leaves a light blue smudge, while high-pressure premature contacts (high spots) leave a distinct, heavily saturated dark mark.
• Hydrophilic Agent Integration: Saliva often causes traditional dental papers to fail or blur. The hydrophilic nature of Maarc Articulating Paper allows it to transfer sharp, smear-free markings even on wet tooth surfaces.
• High Tear Resistance: Despite being incredibly thin, the paper features an anti-tear fiber structure. It can withstand aggressive lateral grinding movements (bruxism checks) without ripping or shredding mid-procedure.
• Zero Stickiness: The smooth surface finish ensures it will not bond or stick to newly polished gold, composite, or glazed porcelain surfaces during patient testing
