German term

Verbandsfolie

German to English Tech/Engineering Medical: Dentistry
In a paper on periodontal disease:

Referring to a radiograph of a molar marked by this "Verbandsfolie" material stuck to it:

Gleichzeitig besteht ein ausgeprägtes Tuber maxillaris, gekennzeichnet mit einer aufgeklebten Verbandsfolie.

Thanks very much!

Even though the German term "Verband" implies wound dressing material, this text pertains to the marking of the tooth for identification and I would emphasize that to avoid confusion.
