I 41 industry news _ Bausch I CAD/CAM 3_2012 _Bausch PROGRESS 100isasmooth fibre-reinforcedpaperwithhighcolour- ing capacity that adapts perfectly to occlusal surfaces. The occlusal contact points or centric contacts are marked very precisely because of the paper’s progressive colour transfer. This 100 µ paper is impregnated with hydrophilic waxes, pharmaceutical oils and the Transculase bonding agent. This unique combination enhances detection of high spots on surfaces that are difficult to measure, such as highly polished metals or ceramics. In addition, its hydrophilic properties make it ad- vantageous for use on moist occlusal surfaces— a highly desirable attribute. Arti-Fol 12 µ metallic is a high-tech test film with distinctly improved features. It is made of metallic polyester film (shimstock film) of only 12 µ in thickness. This film possesses excellent colour transfer. High spots can easily be de- tected, especially on ceramic or highly polished metal surfaces. Arti-Fol has a high tensile strength and is ideal for checking approximal contact points when fitting dental bridges and crowns.

The combination of Bausch PROGRESS 100 andArti-Fol12µoffersconsiderableadvantages, especially for measuring occlusal surfaces such as highly polished metal surfaces or highly glazed ceramics that are difficult to examine. Bausch PROGRESS 100 is used first, transferring the pigments and a thin coat of Transculase bonding agent to the occlusal surface.
