Before cementation of conventional crowns, bridges, and implant prosthetics, it is necessary to assess the relationship of the crown to the neighboring teeth. Occlusion paper is often used to check the contact point. This method however shows a too broad and inaccurate contact point with the subsequent risk of excessive adjustment, often resulting in too large a contact point. Spotit is a colored marker available in a straight and angled handle. As the marker traverses the contact between the prosthetic element and the adjacent tooth it leaves a clear and accurate indication of the adjustment needed for a perfect contact point. The whole operation can be performed without assistance - holding the crown with one hand and the marker with the other hand. Adjusting contact points on crowns and bridges has never been easier!

Directa’s contact finder Spotit is a colored marker available on a straight and angled handle.

The implandt construction in place. The contact is a little too tight (pic.1). Spotit passes through the hard contact while the implant construction is carefully pressed. Only one time! (pic.2). Spotit gave a clean indication where to do the adjustment (pic.3). On the adjacent tooth is also an accurate indication for adjustment (pic.4)
Spotit is a colored marker that indicates exactly where to adjust contacts before the final cementation of C&B works. Put the C&B work in place. Press carefully. Pass Spotit through the hard contact one time only. Remove the C&B work and find the exact spot where you adjust the contact. Repeat if necessary. Do the final cementation.
- Place crown or bridge and push Spotit through the contact to get the indication mark. - The exact indication of where trimming is needed.
The colored thread mounted on Spot it is too thick!The thickness of the thread is unimportant. Spotit is not used to check the contact point but to check where to adjust a crown or bridge to achieve a good contact point. Spotit is used before your get a crown or bridge in place. Hold it firmly to the supposed place, but do not force it into place. Let Spotit pass. Spotit will indicate where the correction shall be done so the crown or bridge will fit perfectly in place.
