Bausch Arti Fol - 12 microns

The unique combination of a high-tech metal foil (Shimstock foil 12u) and a two-sided colour coating with micro-fine ground colour pigments enables clear visible marking of all occlusal contact points. It is thus universally applicable for all materials such as metal, ceramics and plastics, including composites and natural teeth. The material enables efficient grinding in, even with occlusal splints (bruxism). The centric and eccentric are clearly indicated on the bite aid. The centric and eccentric can be shown consecutively with only one foil because of the two different colours. Arti-Fol 12u metallic is a high-tech test film with distinctly improved features. This test film is made of metallic polyester film (Shimstock-film) only 12u thick. The combination of a colour coating and a metallic film offers certain advantages in some applications. This film possesses excellent colour transfer. High spots can easily be detected, especially on ceramic or highly polished metal surfaces. The film is antistatic and can easily be applied even without using forceps. It is also extremely tear-resistant and ideal for resilience testing. In contrast to the conventional Shimstock film Arti-Fol metallic marks the respective high spot precisely. Since the back of the film is metallic, it is obvious which side is colour coated and which is not. It is therefore ideal for checking approximal contact points when fixing dental bridges and crowns.
