What is this product made of?
Arti-Check Micro-Thins are crafted from high-quality paper impregnated with a stable, vivid blue dye formulated for crisp transfer under occlusal pressure. The micro-thin material minimizes thickness while maintaining strength, allowing clinicians to assess occlusal contacts without altering the patient’s bite.
At-a-glance comparison:
- Micro-thin strips vs. standard paper: micro-thin strips provide less vertical interference, giving more accurate contact information than thicker papers.
- Pre-cut strips vs long rolls: pre-cut strips save time and ensure a consistent size for repeated occlusal evaluations.
This construction supports efficient, repeatable occlusal analysis and adjustment.
