ABSTRACT:
A method for performing a dental articulation test and a related test kit are provided. In preferred embodiments, the method includes applying a first chemical component of a binary marking system to at least one tooth of a patient or articulation device. A substrate sheet that contains a coating of microcapsules disposed on at least one side thereof, with at least some of the microcapsules containing a second chemical component of the binary marking system is inserted into the patient's mouth or the articulation device. The first and second arches of the patient or articulation device are then caused to occlude over the substrate, thereby causing formation of a visible mark at the occlusion contact points. The dental articulation kit includes the substrate sheet, an applicator for applying the first chemical component of the binary marking system to teeth, and a quantity of the first chemical component of the binary marking system sufficient to apply to at least one tooth.
