PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for measuring an occlusion contact state, which can make a simpler measurement using a device for quantitatively measuring an occlusion contact state by measuring the intensity of transmitted light of a cutting tool.SOLUTION: In a method for measuring an occlusion contact state, light is radiated from one side of a cutting tool, and the intensity of transmitted light from the cutting tool is measured from the other side. The method includes: a process of obtaining a peak of wavelength of illuminating light radiated to a cutting tool material and a process of selecting a cutting tool material formed of dental wax, whose transmitted light to the illuminating light is within a range of ±100 nm to the peak of a wavelength. The cutting tool material has a hardness of pressure reduction rate ranging from 3% under 70%, and a transmissivity ranging from 3% under 20%.
