MDM Dental Articulating Paper Articulating strips for accurate detection of occlusal points between the teeth

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.Mdm Articulating paper is made of a thin, non-adhesive paper strip covered in fluorescent ink or dye-containing wax.

INDICATION – 

• Mdm Articulating paper is a diagnostic tool used in dentistry to highlight occlusal contacts and the distribution of occlusal forces.
• It marks those points on the teeth where the teeth contact during biting and grinding.
• 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 interferences in persons with bruxism.

ADVANTAGE – 

• Thin
• Non-adhesive
• Made up of high quality
• Highlight occlusal interference
• Articulating paper is manufactured as books of many leaves that are torn out and used when required.

• Composition – non-adhesive paper strip covered in fluorescent ink or dye-containing wax.
• Color – Blue and Red
• Thin
• Number of sheets – 10 Red sheets, 10 Blue sheets

• 20 x Sheets

• Pack of 20 book

Note – One Articulating paper book contains 10 red sheets and 10 blue sheets (total of 20 sheets).

• Preparation: Ensure the patient’s mouth is clean and dry. Select an appropriate-sized sheet from the pack of articulating paper.
• Placement: Using tweezers or gloved fingers, carefully place the articulating paper between the teeth or dental prostheses at the desired location for occlusal assessment. Position the paper strip so that it spans the area of interest and covers the occlusal surfaces involved.
• Occlusal Contacts: Instruct the patient to perform various mandibular movements, such as biting, grinding, or lateral excursions, depending on the specific diagnostic objectives.
• Assessment: After the desired mandibular movements have been executed, carefully remove the articulating paper from between the teeth or prostheses.
• Evaluation: Inspect the marked areas on the articulating paper. High spots and areas of excessive pressure will be indicated by visible blue markings on the paper. Note the location and intensity of the markings to assess occlusal discrepancies.
• Interpretation: Use the markings as a guide to identify occlusal interferences, premature contacts, or other irregularities in the occlusal relationship.
• Adjustment: Based on the findings from the articulating paper markings, make appropriate adjustments to the occlusion using dental instruments or through other treatment modalities as necessary.
• Reassessment: Repeat the process as needed to confirm the effectiveness of occlusal adjustments and ensure optimal occlusal harmony.
