What is the small black paper the dentist tells us to chew on after he fills our tooth after a cavity removal?
Apr 12, 2015

Dr. Jeff Khoury Dentistry
Articulating paper or carbon paper

Dr. Maria Moukarzel Dentistry
it is an important step to do whenever you have a new restauratin done in your mouth (cavity filling, crown...) it is the "papier en carbone" or "carbon paper" used because it is very senstive and reproduce exactly your occlusion so the dentist can control and adjust it

Dr. Patrick Anhoury Dentistry
This paper is used to get a mark on the filling when you bite down on it. This allows the dentist to remove any high spot that might have been created when filling the tooth, thus maintaining the same bite as before.
