Know your indicator.

Recently, someone asked me what kind of occlusal indicator I used to determine occlusal contacts. I thought about it, but I couldn't give a definitive answer. Then I did a library search, but didn't get very far since there are few papers on this subject. There are also no American Dental Association standards on the subject. So I figured out a way to see for myself. This is not a scientific paper and there are no statistics. But I can visually see a difference. I am working within the "least-damaging principle, " which relates to the adage of "do no harm. "
