Choosing the Right Articulating Paper for Your Practice

  • Micron Thickness Matters — Thinner papers (8-12 micron) detect finer occlusal discrepancies. Thicker options (40-200 micron) provide bolder marks for initial adjustments on crowns and dentures before fine-tuning.
  • Strips vs Rolls vs Films — Strips offer convenience for single-use applications. Rolls provide cost efficiency for high-volume practices, while metallic films like Arti-fol offer superior precision for implant work.
  • Colour Selection for Visibility — Blue and red are standard colours for clear contrast. Two-colour papers help distinguish working from non-working side contacts, improving diagnostic accuracy during adjustments.
  • Application in Ceramics — Green articulating paper is designed for ceramic restorations. Higher micron papers like 200 micron green variants leave visible marks on glazed ceramic surfaces without damaging them.
  • Shimstock for Precision — Metallic shimstock (8-12 micron) detects the lightest contacts. Essential for implant-supported prostheses where passive fit verification requires detecting contacts as light as feather touch.
  • Forceps and Dispensers — Articulating paper forceps ensure hygienic handling. Plastic dispensers keep rolls organised and contamination-free, improving workflow efficiency during patient appointments.

  3. Choose strip format for occasional use or rolls for busy practices needing efficiency.
  4. Consider colour options to differentiate working and non-working side contacts.
  5. Add forceps and dispensers to maintain hygiene and streamline chairside workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What micron thickness is best for crown adjustments?

40-200 micron papers provide visible marks on metal and ceramic crowns for initial adjustments.

When should I use shimstock instead of articulating paper?

Use shimstock (8-12 micron) for detecting very light contacts on implants and verifying passive fit.

Can I use regular articulating paper on ceramics?

Yes, though higher micron green paper is designed specifically for better visibility on glazed ceramics.

What is the difference between Arti-fol and standard paper?

Arti-fol is a thin metallic polyester film offering more precise marking than traditional paper.

How many strips come in a standard pack?

Strip counts vary by product, typically ranging from 12 to 300 strips per pack.

Why use two-colour articulating paper?

Two colours help distinguish contacts on opposing sides of the arch during bite analysis.

Are articulating paper forceps necessary?

Forceps ensure hygienic placement and prevent contamination from direct hand contact.
