Abstract

The present invention relates to an articulating paper for use in dentistry, which comprises a support layer that is provided on at least one side with at least one colour layer comprising a colouring pigment, wherein there is present, on at least one colour layer, a layer that has at least one adhesion promoter for the colouring pigment(s) of the colour layer(s).

Claims

1. Articulating paper for use in dentistry, which comprises a support layer that is provided on at least one side with at least one colour layer comprising a colouring pigment, characterised in that there is present, on at least one colour layer, a layer that has at least one adhesion promoter for the colouring pigment(s) of the colour layer(s).

2. Articulating paper according to claim 1, characterised in that an adhesion promoter is present in at least one colour layer.

3. Articulating paper according to claim 1, characterised in that the adhesion promoter is encapsulated in microcapsules.

4. Articulating paper according to claim 3, characterised in that microcapsules are suitable for releasing the adhesion promoter as a result of the action of pressure on the microcapsules.

5. Articulating paper according to claim 3, characterised in that the microcapsules are suitable for releasing the adhesion promoter as a result of the action of an activator.

6. Articulating paper according to claim 5, characterised in that the microcapsules are suitable for releasing the adhesion promoter as a result of UV irradiation of the microcapsules.

7. Articulating paper according to claim 5, characterised in that the microcapsules are suitable for releasing the adhesion promoter as a result of the application of heat to the microcapsules.

8. Articulating paper according to claim 1, characterised in that it has a plurality of differently coloured colour layers.

9. Articulating paper according to claim 8, characterised in that the colour layers have different layer thicknesses.

10. Articulating paper according to claim 8, characterised in that the uppermost colour layer corresponds to a tolerance height for contact sites of a masticatory unit/occlusal unit.

11. Articulating paper according to claim 10, characterised in that the layer thickness of the uppermost colour layer is about 8 μ

m.

12. Articulating paper according to claim 1, characterised in that the colour layers are coloured wax colour layers.

13. Articulating paper according to claim 1, characterised in that the support layer comprises or consists of paper.
