Liquid solutions designed to characterize the contact relationship of the occlusal surfaces between the maxillary and mandibular teeth. These solutions are typically a binary liquid system that includes a primary liquid compound that is partially absorbed by the teeth and a second liquid compound that may be either applied to the teeth to show contact surfaces on the tooth itself or on a substrate that shows visible marks when the patient bites. Articulation dental liquids are used in a variety of dental tests, such as the determination of size, shape, and proper placement of partial dental prostheses and to program and/or assess the progress of orthodontic treatments.
