About articulating paper
Articulating papers differ in thickness, commonly 200, 100, 60 and 40 microns, and in width, material and dye. Thicker paper leaves broader marks; thinner paper shows the number and spread of contacts more precisely.
Articulating paper is ink-coated paper in strips, used to locate and mark the points where upper and lower teeth touch. The FDA lists articulation paper as a Class I device (21 CFR 872.6140), placed between the upper and lower teeth in the bite position to locate uneven or high areas.
Its thickness runs from 8 to 200 microns, and the base may be paper, polyester or silk. Published studies describe the marks as showing where teeth touch, not how hard: they cannot determine the sequence or the strength of contacts.
How paper, film, high spot indicators and pressure paste differ
- Articulating paper — Placed between the teeth, it marks whatever touches it.
- Articulating film — The thinnest of the indicators; it needs a firmer bite to leave a mark.
- High spot indicators — Coats the restoration itself; contact wears the colour away at the high spot. It can be used on highly polished surfaces such as gold or ceramic.
- Pressure indicator paste — Goes on the fitting surface of a denture or other prosthesis to show how it seats, not between the biting surfaces.
What to look at when choosing articulating paper
Thickness: thin papers of 8 or 40 microns are more flexible and follow the shape of the biting surface more closely than thick ones.
Shape: articulating paper comes in strips and in horseshoe-shaped sheets.
Base material: foils are the thinnest indicators, but their marking shows less under light pressure and on glossy surfaces. Articulating silk is tear-resistant and flexible enough to follow cusps and fossae.
Moisture: saliva can ruin ordinary articulating paper, and some papers and films carry a bonding or wetting agent so that they mark on moist surfaces.
