Focused color transfer
Microencapsulated color release technology produces crisp, well-defined contact marks without bleeding or smudging-eliminating guesswork and accelerating precise occlusal adjustments.

Microcapsule Occlusal Paper
ASHUR Microcapsule Occlusal Paper represents a fundamental advancement in occlusal analysis technology. Our proprietary microencapsulation process delivers consistently precise markings across five calibrated thicknesses-each engineered for specific stages of restorative and prosthetic workflows.
Multiple thicknesses
Five precisely calibrated thicknesses (8μm-200μm) provide the right level of sensitivity for every phase-from initial contact mapping to final occlusal verification.
Color assortment
Multiple color options (red, blue, black, and specialty formulations) accommodate various clinical scenarios, restoration materials, and personal visualization preferences.
Workflow-friendly
Purpose-built for the complete occlusal adjustment protocol-from diagnostic screening through final prosthetic seating. Each thickness serves a distinct clinical objective.
Thickness matrix for different adjustment stages
8 μm · Final refinement
An ultra-thin option for low-interference contact checks during aesthetic, veneer, and implant-restoration workflows.
40 μm · Fine adjustment
Intermediate sensitivity for precise contact refinement following initial occlusal mapping. Ideal for crown and bridge adjustments where controlled material removal is essential.
80 μm · Daily clinical use
A commonly used thickness for routine contact checks, denture adjustments, and general restorative workflows.
100 μm · Quick screening
Enhanced sensitivity for rapid identification of heavy contacts and occlusal interferences. The ideal starting point for full-mouth rehabilitation and complex restorative cases.
200 μm · Sensitive case indication
Maximum sensitivity for initial occlusal assessment in patients with reduced tactile feedback or when identifying gross occlusal discrepancies prior to detailed analysis.
Suggested clinical sequence
Two-step contact check using two occlusal-paper thicknesses
For many restorative cases, you can first use a specification that is easier to observe to quickly establish the contact distribution, and then use a thinner specification for refinement and final finishing. This 'position first, then refine' logic is convenient for clinical understanding and also facilitates explanation during sales and distribution cooperation.
Usage Method
- Step 1: Coarse check of centric occlusion first. Have the teeth bite together gently, and use thicker occlusal paper to check centric occlusion contact. You can use 100 micron occlusal paper first to see if there are contact marks on the tooth surface.
- Step 2: Switch to 40 μm paper for a lower-interference contact check during fine adjustment. Interpret the marks together with the clinical examination rather than as a direct measure of force.
- Compare the distribution and repeatability of the marks after changing thickness. Mark size or intensity alone should not be interpreted as a direct measurement of occlusal force.
- Grind a small amount, then recheck. If obvious premature contact or high points are found, usually grind a small amount in stages; re-check the bite after each small grinding, and do not grind too much at once.
- Check lateral occlusion if necessary. In addition to centric occlusion, you can also have the patient perform lateral or protrusive movements, and then use 40 micron occlusal paper to check dynamic contact.
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: Multiple clinical colors available to meet different clinical needs
- Typical use: Occlusal screening, refinement, finishing, and restorative adjustment
Presentation Value:
- This technology allows dentists and distributors to intuitively understand and explain the usage logic of different thicknesses, helping clinical staff select the most suitable specifications based on specific patient needs.
- 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 clinical assessment, restorative adjustment, and chairside communication.
Clinical indications highlighted more clearly
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
Aesthetic restorations-ceramic veneers, inlays, and anterior crowns-require minimal-adjustment protocols to preserve surface integrity and optical properties. Ultra-thin papers provide the precision needed for subtle occlusal refinements without risking restoration damage.
Full-mouth rehabilitation
Full-mouth rehabilitation presents unique occlusal challenges with multiple simultaneous restorations. Our complete thickness range enables a systematic, step-by-step approach-from initial gross adjustment with 200μm through final fine-tuning with 8μm papers.
Orthodontic and sensitive cases
Orthodontic patients and individuals with dentin hypersensitivity require gentler occlusal assessment techniques. Our graduated thickness options allow precise, patient-comfort-focused contact evaluation without excessive bite force.
