On 8/30/2018, Ross led training on the uses and kinds of Articulating Paper.
Articulating Paper, Foil and Film
Dental articulating paper is used to check the fit of dental restorations during a try in prior to final seating. These materials are placed between the restoration and adjacent or opposing teeth and the pressure of the bite or tight interproximal contacts leave a mark on the restoration, indicating where the contacts need to be adjusted. These materials should be easy to use, and the results should be easy to read to place your restorations for proper fit and function.
