FAQ

What's the difference between the red and blue markings?
Red typically marks the maxillary (upper) arch contacts and blue marks the mandibular (lower) arch, making it easy to tell which arch created which contact mark.

Can articulating paper be used on moist surfaces?
Yes, this paper is designed to mark clearly even on moist intraoral surfaces, which is common during clinical use.

Do I need special forceps to use articulating paper?
Forceps make placement easier and more hygienic, but the strips can also be held with cotton pliers or clean gloved fingers.

How many strips come in a box?
Pack counts vary by brand; check the product listing or contact MedSTA for the exact strip count in this box.
