Abstract: Among the different occlusal indicators the articulating paper is the most popular one. However the data in the available literature regarding the relationship between the thickness of the articulation paper and the area of the markings is rather contradictory. This laboratory study focuses on the possibilities for occlusal contacts registration obtained by different paper thickness. Our objective was to create an occlusal registration apparatus corresponding to the clinical conditions of maximum intercuspation. With the help of the apparatus for occlusal registration, we managed to make records of markings obtained from different paper thickness. The results obtained from our apparatus show a strong correlation between the occlusal indicator and the appearance of the occlusal markings
