See the tight contact before you adjust it.

The WriteFit® Contact Marker is a patented chairside instrument for identifying exact interproximal high-contact points on crowns, onlays, bridges, and porcelain restorations. The angled graphite carrier transfers a small, readable mark at the resistance point so restorative teams can adjust the right spot with less guesswork.

Why restorative dentists use it

  • Pinpoints high contacts: graphite transfers at the actual contact point so reduction is targeted.
  • Reduces adjustment cycles: mark, reseat, reduce, and verify with fewer rounds of trial and error.
  • Works in familiar workflows: use it chairside during crown, bridge, and onlay delivery without changing your seating sequence.
  • Built for repeated clinical use: reusable 316 surgical stainless steel handle with replaceable graphite marker tips.
  • Patent-protected method: US Patent 9,504,545 B2, invented by Neil Stewart McLeod.

How it works

  1. Draw graphite onto the proximal contact surface.
  2. Insert and seat the restoration.
  3. Read the transferred mark at the high point.
  4. Adjust only the marked area, reseat, and verify the final contact.

Specifications

  • Handle: reusable 316 surgical stainless steel
  • Tip system: replaceable graphite marker tips
  • Use case: interproximal contact marking for crowns, onlays, bridges, and porcelain restorations
  • Sterilization: follow standard dental instrument sterilization protocols for reusable components
  • Designed for clinical restorative workflows

Recommended setup

  • 1 WriteFit® Contact Marker per main restorative operatory
  • Graphite Marker Tip Refills stocked with crown delivery supplies
  • Quick team cue: use when the restoration is tight but the high point is unclear

Best paired with: Graphite Marker Tip Refills so every operatory has fresh tips ready.

Clinical workflow

Find the contact before you remove porcelain.

WriteFit marks the proximal contact surface with graphite, transfers that mark to the tight point on the restoration, and gives the adjustment a smaller target.

01

Mark the contact

The pointed graphite insert reaches the proximal contact through the angled carrier.

02

Seat the restoration

The crown, bridge, or onlay picks up a readable graphite transfer mark at resistance.

03

Adjust the mark

Reduce the transferred high point instead of broadly grinding the whole proximal surface.

04

Verify and finish

Reseat, check the contact, and continue only when the restoration seats predictably.

Reusable handle

316 stainless steel instrument.

A durable chairside handle keeps the marking angle repeatable and easy to place in the mouth.

Replaceable tip

Pointed graphite insert.

Fresh tips keep the mark dark and readable during crown, bridge, onlay, and porcelain delivery.

Operatory setup

Pair marker and refills.

Keep one marker in each restorative room and stock refills beside crown delivery supplies.

Clinical decision support

Designed for the contact that is tight but hard to read.

WriteFit gives the adjustment a smaller target. Instead of broadly reducing the proximal surface, mark the contact, reseat the restoration, and adjust the transferred high point.

Problem

The crown almost seats.

The resistance is obvious, but the exact proximal high point can be hard to isolate with broad marks or repeated trial fitting.

Method

Graphite transfers at the contact.

The angled carrier colors the proximal contact surface. Reseating transfers a dark mark to the point causing resistance.

Result

Adjust the mark, then verify.

Reduce only the marked high spot, reseat, and confirm a balanced contact before final cementation.

Clinical questions

Who is WriteFit for?

WriteFit is for licensed dentists and restorative teams evaluating crown, bridge, onlay, and porcelain restoration delivery workflows.

How does the graphite transfer mark work?

The marker applies graphite to the proximal contact surface. When the restoration is seated, graphite transfers at the point creating resistance, giving the adjustment a focused target.

Does it replace articulating paper?

No. WriteFit is focused on interproximal contact identification during restoration seating. Occlusion should still be checked with the normal materials and workflow used in the practice.

What should practices keep in stock?

A practical setup is one Contact Marker in each main restorative operatory, with graphite marker tip refills stocked beside crown delivery supplies.

Can I evaluate it before standardizing it?

Dental practices, labs, schools, and DSOs can use the sample request path to evaluate the workflow before broader rollout.
