Bausch Articulating Papers - Janouch Dental

Bausch - Name and Concept for
Articulating-Test-Materials
The correct physiological recovery of the occlusion poses as much a challenge as ever for every
dentist and technician. Even the smallest high spots measuring just a few microns can cause
dysfunctions (mostly pain dysfunction syndrome - TMD) in patients. Occlusal proportions are being
constantly changed with every procedure. Therefore, an understanding of the synergy of the teeth
in static and dynamic occlusion forms the basis of good dentistry.
Since 1953, Dr. Jean Bausch KG has specialized in manufacturing of special articulating –
occlusion test materials designed to represent occlusal proportions on the masticatory surfaces as
true to nature as possible. From the outset, the founders of the company, dentists Dr. Jean Bausch
and Dr. Hans Bausch, recognized the need to use pressure-sensitive articulating paper in order to
present all the different masticatory forces in various colors. The principle of progressive color
transfer remains an important method for the accurate detection of high spots.
Achieving visible markings on problematic surfaces such as gold, metal alloys and ceramics, but
especially on moist occlusal surfaces represents another challenge.
We have also set our sights on achieving optimum color transfer even with ultra-thin occlusion test
films. Our new test films are produced with an improved color coating, which can transfer more
effectively onto polished masticatory surfaces because of its hydrophilic properties. Adding certain
substances has also solved the problem of static loading.
As one of the the world’s leading manufacturers in this domain, we offer an extensive range of
different articulating papers and articulating test-films in different shapes, sizes and colors. All our
products are manufactured strictly in compliance with the European Medical-Products Decree and
are constantly monitored by our Quality Assurance Department. The raw materials used are
physiologically safe, and comply with stringent cosmetic, food and pharmacological standards.
We are particularly indebted to the founder of our company, Dr. Hans Bausch, for his life’s work.
Dr. Bausch unfortunately passed away in the Fall of 1998 at the age of 70, and was therefore
unable to witness the completion of our new production plant. With his driving force and vision,
Dr. Hans Bausch laid the foundation for modern occlusal test-films. Armed with additional product
innovations, the family will now carry this tradition into the future.
