Key Highlights (TL;DR)

  • SimpleTemp eliminates intra-oral “fishing” for screw channels by letting you create them outside the mouth.
  • Powered by Direct Separable Fastener technology, it delivers stronger, faster, and fully retrievable screw-retained temporaries.
  • No cement, no sepsis risk—ideal when vertical space is limited.
  • Works seamlessly chairside or in the lab with most major implant systems.
  • Designed to simplify workflows and give clinicians predictable, repeatable workflows every time.

SimpleTemp: Screw-Retained Temporaries Made Simple

If you’ve ever had to “fish” for a screw channel intra-orally, you know how frustrating traditional screw-retained temporaries can be. Weak restorations, wasted chair time, and unpredictable retrievability have long been accepted as the norm—but not anymore.

The Problem with Conventional Temporaries

If you missed the announcement, it’s probably a dam good idea to get caught up. These new Silicone Dams are a perfect match for Smart Denture Conversions. They feature a built-in peel-away layer that acts as the template. Just make your impressions, punch your holes, and peel away the backing. No layering, no fuss. We began offering dams in packs of 10 back in June.

The SimpleTemp Solution

SimpleTemp from Smart On X changes the game. Built around our patented Separable Fastener technology, SimpleTemp allows you to create the screw channel outside the mouth—eliminating intra-oral guesswork while maintaining full retrievability and strength.

Here’s how it works:

  • Insert the Direct Separable Fastener into a titanium temporary abutment.
  • Seat and pick up as one unit during fabrication.
  • As the provisional is removed, the fastener separates into two pieces—the PEEK Cap and abutment stay captured inside the restoration while the Threaded Post remains in the implant.
  • With the provisional now outside the mouth, create a clean, precise screw channel directly down to the abutment.
  • Finish, polish, and deliver.

The result? A stronger, cleaner, and fully retrievable provisional, made faster and with greater predictability than ever before.

Why Clinicians Love It

SimpleTemp was designed with restorative efficiency in mind. Whether you’re a general dentist, prosthodontist, or lab technician, SimpleTemp simplifies the workflow and delivers tangible clinical advantages.

  • Retrievable: Easy to remove, adjust, or repair without damaging the prosthesis.
  • Ideal for limited occlusal space: No cement required, making it perfect when vertical height is tight.
  • No cement sepsis risk: Eliminates peri-implant complications from excess cement.
  • Stronger provisionals: Smaller screw channels preserve material integrity and occlusion.
  • Chairside efficiency: Fabricate screw-retained temporaries quickly, without large access holes or heat generation.
  • Predictable retrievability: The Separable Fastener ensures clean, repeatable access every time.
  • Versatile application: Works seamlessly with most major implant systems and supports both bis-acryl and composite—chairside or in the lab.
SimpleTemp Compatibility

A System Built for Modern Dentistry

SimpleTemp isn’t just a product—it’s a smarter workflow. It’s available in convenient starter kits and refill packs, making it easy to integrate into both new and established clinical routines. And with Smart On X’s support and training, you’ll have everything needed to start delivering better temporaries right away.

No more fishing for screw channels.
Just simple retrievability.

Dentistry doesn’t have to accept fractured, time-consuming provisionals as the standard. SimpleTemp redefines what’s possible for screw-retained temporaries—stronger, faster, and retrievable, all in one system.

At the heart of SimpleTemp is the Direct Separable Fastener—the component that makes it all possible. This patented, two-piece design is what allows clinicians to create screw channels outside the mouth, preserving strength and delivering true retrievability.

Direct Separable Fastener

$32.00

The Direct Separable Fastener is the key component of the SimpleTemp family, a next-generation system for simplifying screw-retained provisional restorations. Built around Smart On X’s proprietary Separable Fastener technology, SimpleTemp provisionals are stronger, faster, and predictably retrievable.

During pickup, the Direct Separable Fastener connects without requiring large access holes, preserving the strength and esthetics of the restoration. Once the material sets, the provisional is removed with the fastener head, leaving the threaded post in place. A small screw channel is then created, and the provisional is secured with a prosthetic screw. The result is a strong, esthetic, and retrievable restoration — completed in a fraction of the time compared to conventional methods.

Available Sizes (matching implant internal thread):

  • M1.6
  • M1.6 Narrow (Straumann®)
  • M1.8
  • M2

Key Benefits (delivering on the SimpleTemp promise):

  • No more intraoral fishing - screw channels are created outside the mouth.
  • Stronger provisionals — small screw channels preserve material integrity and occlusion.
  • Faster workflows – simplified chairside and lab steps save valuable time.
  • Predictable retrievability — provisionals can be removed and reinserted with confidence.
  • Versatile compatibility — works with both bis-acryl and composite resin.
