Passivity Plus Technology

Clinical Benefits of
Passivity Plus Technology

• True passive fit without compromise -  The self-adjusting mechanism automatically compensates for minor misfits during seating.
• Universal workflow compatibility - Works with any record-capture method (scanning, photogrammetry, grammetry, stone models) and any framework material (zirconia, titanium, PMMA, hybrid). 
• Decreased prosthesis fracture risk - The self-adjusting mechanism absorbs stress that would otherwise concentrate in the prosthesis framework.
• Fewer remakes and repairs -  Cases that fall within normal manufacturing tolerances but would fail passive fit testing with conventional components can proceed successfully.
• Virtual elimination of screw loosening -  The 5-degree conical cold-welding mechanism creates a friction-locked connection at 25 Ncm that resists loosening under functional loads.
• Fully reversible and serviceable - The cold weld releases when the screw is loosened, restoring flexibility to the pivotable cap.
• Predictable, repeatable seating protocol - A simple, standardized technique applies to every case: partial engagement of all screws, allow self-adjustment, then final torque in cross-pattern to 25 N·cm.
• No bite opening or occlusal distortion - Micro-scale adjustments, less than 2 degrees, at the micron level, have no clinically significant impact on vertical dimension. The prosthesis seats in its designed occlusal scheme without the distortion that occurs when forcing non-passive frameworks into place.
