AccuFilm® Occlusal Articulating Film

Don't Grind Every Ink Spot—Adjust the Right Spot!

Not all occlusal contacts are created equal. Some support function while others create problems. Telling them apart takes precision, and precision starts with using the appropriate articulating film.

Confidence doesn't come from more markings. It comes from better ones.

Parkell offers three formats of articulating film to help you collect the information you need, so you can adjust the patient's occlusion with confidence instead of guesswork.

Choosing the Right Film.

Single-sided (ink on one side)

Engineered with an ink-free backing to prevent drag, smearing, and false markings on the opposing arch. Ideal when you need precise control over which arch receives the mark. Perfect for precision bite adjustments, implant occlusion, and any situation where selective, high fidelity marking is essential.

Double-sided, one color (ink on both sides, same color)

Captures simultaneous upper and lower contact in a single closure, giving you a fast, complete picture of the dual arch relationship. Ideal for pinpointing prematurities, high spots, and working/balancing contacts during routine occlusal checks, as well as bringing direct and indirect restorations into equilibrium for precise, predictable occlusal harmony.

Double-sided, two color (ink on both sides, different colors)

Record and visually separate static and dynamic occlusal contacts using two distinct colors in a single film. Have the patient close in centric occlusion first to capture one color, then flip the film before guiding them through excursive movements to layer in the second color. Ideal for complex restorative, TMD diagnostics, and full arch functional assessments where distinguishing centric holds from excursive pathways is critical.

Note: The same two-color effect can also be achieved using two single sided strips, one in each color, marked sequentially in the same manner.

Diode Laser Users — Did you Know?
Many doctors use AccuFilm for laser tip initiation. This “carbonization” of the tip partially prevents laser light from exiting the fiber, essentially turning the tip into a hot glass rod that is primed to vaporize the soft tissue it contacts. To “Initiate”, simply move the flat end of the laser’s fiber tip across a piece of AccuFilm. This will carbonize the tip and make it ready for use.
