PapillameterPapillameter

 

 

The Papillameter is an important measuring device used by the dentist to gain more accurate, personalized esthetic results in denture and denture-related implant cases. The Papillameter takes the measurement of the length of your patient's upper lip. This enables the dental technician to establish the anterior length of the upper ant teeth, simply, accurately and individually for each patient.

It consists of:

  • Vestibule Shield
  • Incisive Papilla Rest
  • Vertical handle for measuring lip length

Instructions For Use

  1. Have the patient standing or sitting upright for this procedure.
  2. Holding the Papillameter perpendicular to the floor, place the Incisive Papilla Rest on the incisive papilla. Make sure the lip is at it's full rest position and not pushed or pulled upwards or outwards by the Papillameter.
  3. Read the measurement with eyes on a level with the low lip line.
  4. Now specify the Papillameter reading on the Laboratory Authorization Form.
