Focused color transfer
The color-transfer layer releases marking material under pressure to help show contact locations.
ASHUR product focus
Microcapsule Dental Articulating Paper
ASHUR microcapsule dental articulating paper uses a color-transfer layer to help visualize occlusal contact locations. Multiple thickness options are available for selection according to the product instructions and clinical judgment.
Product highlights
Multiple thicknesses
Five nominal thickness options from 8 μm to 200 μm are shown. Confirm the appropriate selection through the product materials.
Color assortment
Multiple color options are available. Refer to the current product list to confirm available colors and configurations.
Workflow-friendly
The thickness range supports discussion of different contact-checking options. Appropriate use depends on the case and the product instructions.
Evidence-guided selection and interpretation
Use the public Knowledge Center to review articulating-paper basics, thickness context, and selection factors without turning specification lists into assumed variants.
Overview of thickness options
8 μm · Ultra-thin option
An ultra-thin option for observing contact marks with low material interference. Follow the product instructions.
40 μm · Thin option
A thin option for comparing contact-mark locations. Marks should be interpreted together with the clinical examination.
80 μm · Intermediate option
An intermediate option within the displayed thickness range. Refer to the product instructions to confirm appropriate use.
100 μm · Medium-thickness option
A thicker option for observing the distribution of contact marks. Mark size alone does not measure occlusal force.
200 μm · Thicker option
A thicker option for a general view of contact before considering thinner options where appropriate.
General notes
Comparing contact marks across thickness options
Marking can vary with thickness, moisture, bite technique, and operating conditions. This information is general and does not replace the product instructions or clinical judgment.
Points to review
- Select thickness and color according to the product instructions and the case being assessed.
- Compare the location, distribution, and repeatability of marks when repeating a check.
- Mark size or intensity alone should not be interpreted as a direct measurement of occlusal force.
- Any required clinical adjustment should be determined by a qualified dental professional.
Technology story
ASHUR Microcapsule Technology
ASHUR occlusal paper uses a microcapsule-based color-transfer layer that releases marking material under pressure to help visualize contact locations. Marking performance can vary with paper thickness, moisture, bite technique, and other clinical conditions.
Technical Specifications:
- Thickness range: 8 / 40 / 80 / 100 / 200 μm
- Color options: Confirm available colors in the current product list
- Typical use: Occlusal screening, refinement, finishing, and restorative adjustment
Presentation Value:
- Different thickness options can be compared, but the appropriate selection should be confirmed through the product instructions and clinical judgment.
- Different paper thicknesses may be selected for different stages of static or dynamic contact assessment and interpreted together with clinical judgment.
The microcapsule color-transfer structure provides visible contact marks that can support contact observation and chairside communication.
Application contexts for discussion
Implant-supported restorations
Implant-supported restorations require careful assessment of occlusal contacts. Thinner options such as 8 μm and 40 μm can support fine contact visualization, but articulating-paper marks alone do not quantify occlusal force.
Veneers and esthetic restorations
Thinner options may help show contact locations around aesthetic restorations when used according to the product instructions.
Full-mouth rehabilitation
Multiple thickness options provide different ways to visualize contact locations in complex cases. The appropriate sequence depends on clinical judgment.
Orthodontic and sensitive cases
For orthodontic or sensitivity-related cases, the dental professional should determine an appropriate contact-checking approach for the individual patient.
