Checking the occlusion using the 2 step method

The combination of Bausch Articulating Paper 200µ or Bausch PROGRESS 100® with Arti-Fol® articulating film 8µ or Arti-Fol® metallic 12µ, offers considerable advantages, especially on occlusal surfaces such as gold or ceramic which are difficult to examine. The first test is made with blue articulating paper, transferring the pigments and a thin coat of Transculase® bonding agent to the occlusal surface. Contacts are immediately evident. The second step is to take a thin film, preferably red, which offers high intensity and an excellent contrast to blue. Due to the fine coat of Transculase® bonding agent, the color transfer off the film is improved considerably. This method offers utmost reliability. Now high spots are totally visible.
